It's been a while since I posted last time. My mom, aunt, and grandmother visited us from Tokyo and we had a wonderful time together. We had lots of good food, saw Seattle Mariners game (although we lost the game big time), visited the rhody garden, spent some time with Darma...and more. It was only 5 days, but we did so much that it felt like weeks! Darma looks very confused when the company from abroad leaves. She looks really sad... I bet she's waiting for them to come back!
Things are going well these days. Busy at work, but weather has been awesome. Days are getting shorter and shorter. It's dark by 8:30 PM now. The pictures are some things in bloom in the garden right now. All the lilies are started to bloom and adding some colors! Lillium michauxii is about 9 feet tall and orange flowers hang down. One of my favorite lilies! We started collecting seeds for propagation. So far, we collected trillium, Meconopsis (blue poppies), primroses, peonies, and more to come. I enjoy collecting seeds and cleaning them. Before we know, leaves will start turning colors and fall will come!
前にブログを書いてからしばらく経ちます。１ヶ月ほど前に母、祖母、叔母がシアトルに遊びに来て楽しく過ごしました。おいしいものたくさん食べて、マリナーズの試合見て（大負けだったけど）、ガーデンに行って、ダーマと遊んで。たった５日間だったけど、毎日忙しく、何週間のように感じた！ダーマは、海外からのお客さんが帰ると混乱してるみたい。しょんぼりして、かえってくるのを待ってるみたい。毎日仕事は忙しいけど、楽しくやってます。日に日に暗くなるのが暗くなるのが早くなって今では夜８時半には暗いです。朝６時におきると、今までは明るかったけど、今では薄暗い。写真は、今ガーデンで咲いてるいくつかの花たち。ユリが満開で、色鮮やかに咲いてます。Lillium michauxii は、３メートル弱の巨大ゆりで、オレンジ色の花が風鈴のようにぶら下がってます。大好きなゆりの１つ！それと、種を集め始めました。これまでに、トリリウム、青いケシ、いろんな桜草、シャクヤクなど。これからまだまだ増えていきます。種を集めるのって好き！ペーパーバッグ片手に、ガーデン中歩き回ってます。
知らぬうちに木々の葉っぱの色が変わりだして、秋が来るのだろうな。
