Lavender

I planted a lavender last year.
And now, it is blooming!

It smell very nice (*^^*)

I want to grow many lavenders, but I withered a few ones before.
That's why I've hesitated to plant another lavenders.
But... it is too great flower!
I can't give up!!

I heard there are a lot of type of lavenders.
I try to find lavenders which is a good match with soil in my garden.

I found a persimmon bud

I finally found a persimmon bud!!
There is only one bud on tree's upside, so I couldn't take a photo finely...
But I think bud will increase from now.

There are the tree in my parents-in-law's garden.
And my mother-in-law who is an instructor of IKEBANA has taken care of it, but persimmon blossom is not within her recollection.
Persimmon blossom must always bloom in obscurity.
But I will definitely see it!!

My dog will come here!!

The other day, my mother phoned me that she wanted me to take care of our dog for 1 month.
I'm not living with my dog now.
Because when I got married, I lived in an apartment and I couldn't have a pet there.
After that, we bought our own house so we can have pets now.
But it was too late! She was already an old dog at that time.

Now, we're thinking that our decision is good for us and our dog.
But sometimes my mother is very busy because she works as a nurse now.
And she has to prepare a Buddhist memorial service for her mother until Aug. and visit his brother who stays at a hospital.
That's why, my dog will stay at my home next month.
Of course, I worry about my mother, but... I'm looking forward to seeing my dog!
Oh! I'm a undutiful daughter!!

Lupines

I don't like lupines, but I have some Lupines in my garden. My grandfather likes them　because it looks like rising.
I mentioned about Wisteria before, and wrote "wisteria has downward flower and is associated with a negative image".
And Lupines are associated with a positive image in contradiction to wisteria.

Oh, can you see a pink columbine to the left side of the photo?
Yeah! I like it (*^^*)v
