Amalie worked hard to lay there with everyone.


This summer, we were supposed to have a 5 foot living wall around the back yard. My dream is laying on a ground with someone who organized them. The arborvitaes turned yellow and brown, and it doesn't seem like they will come back...I watered them crazy like hurricane last summer. Is it because the horse manure compost was too strong? Or, our neighbour spread some kind of weed killer right on the border? Anyway, we had to replace the small trees again. Hahhhhmmmmm.


アーバーヴァイティのしかばねと共に横たわる海璃。裏隣との境界線に植えた木がほとんど全滅してしまいました。馬糞の堆肥が強すぎたのか。それとも、隣人が除草剤をまいたのかな。そういえば、春先に境界線に近い方の植木たちを処分してどうのこうの言ってたっけ。あーあ。今年こそは目線ぐらいまでは隠れる垣根が出来ると思ってたのに。新しい木々は1mにも満ちません。全く、気の長いプロジェクトです。海璃はこの後、木をコントラバスに例えて、夕空をバックに浪々とご演奏なさってました。

Hi Mutsumi!

I know that you don't know me and I am not sure if Ryan will remember me, but I am his cousin! In January I was able to get together with Aunt Margaret while staying in Northern California for business. She brought your Christmas card of your beautiful family and I couldn't help but see how happy both you and Ryan are. Please tell Ryan hello for me and I would so love to be in touch with you all.

I hope that your family in Japan is all safe and well. If you would like to reach me I can be found on Facebook Erin Jump Fry or via email erin(at)fancyfortunecookies(dot)com

My husband and I live in Indianapolis and have a two year old little girl.

Love,
Erin

Hi Mu,
Just thinking of you and wondering how your parents and family are in Japan. Hope they are safe. What a tragedy.
