Bishop's Close

近所にあるキリスト教系の庭園。ちょっとした散策に最適です。紅葉は終わってしまいすっかり冬景色です。先々週、何か臭くて海璃と「ウンチ踏んだ?」と言っては靴の裏を見て歩いていたところ、なんと銀杏の木でした。早速、ビニール手袋＆長靴で完全装備して拾って来ました。大きすぎるお腹がつりそうになるのと、ゲロの臭いとの戦いでしたが、日本魂が打ち勝ってこんなにいっぱい。

We love to go walking at the Bishop's Close garden. The scenery changes throughout the year. A few weeks ago, we were checking each other's shoes saying, "Did you step on poo?". It wasn't poo. It was a Ginko nuts. It looks like a yellow cherry, and the fresh skin literally smells like between poo and puke. However, inside of the shells are jewel green, and it is used in Japanese cuisine. (It doesn't smell at all.) We went back with disposable gloves and boots, and we picked them this much! My tummy is too big, and I had to fight cramps, and I felt like almost puking.

おまけに、こんな物まで見てしまいました。とかげって、ミミズを食べるんだ・・・色んな物を発見しては、海璃も大喜び。ちなみに、彼女のセーター編んでみました。

In addition, we found him. This lizard eating a worm.......

Amalie loves to find new things in nature. We have quite a collection of her twigs and leaves on our porch.
