Outdoors in Autumn



October must be my favorite month, the weather is usually good, the sky puts on a beautiful show of clouds, and I no longer have to take three showers a day to feel clean.  It's the perfect time to get to the mountains, or go for a drive along the coast.  This fall I really want to go stargazing at the Tengu Highlands, I heard the night sky is really beautiful from there and you can see the milky way on a clear night.

十月は間違いなく 私の一番好きな月だ。 天気もいいし、雲はすごくきれいな色と形で、そんなに暑くないから気持ちいい。登山や海岸沿いのドライブにばっちり。今年の秋は天狗高原に行って綺麗な夜空を見に行きたいと思っている。天狗高原からみる景色はとても綺麗で、銀河も見えると聞いたから、今からいける日をとても楽しみにしている。

A Dream


I had a dream last night that the leaves on all the trees were colored like treasure and jewels, red rubies, glimmering golds and ambers, and brilliant oranges.  But they were falling off the trees too fast!  Every second dozens more leaves fell.  I wanted to take a picture of how beautiful they were, but I couldn't get my camera in time.  When I saw the ginko tree behind the village office this morning I remembered the dream...  I think winter might be coming fast.

昨夜、紅葉の夢を見よった。葉っぱが金の様な黄色とルビーの様な赤、そして鮮やかな橙色だった。でも木の枝からこじゃんと速く落ちてしまいよった。一秒ごとに何十枚も落ちた。美しい紅葉の写真をとりたかったけんどカメラを出すのは遅すぎた。今朝、役場の裏のいちょうの木を見た時その夢を思い出した。。。冬が早く来る様な気がするがよ。

Thanksgiving

My favorite Holiday in America is Thanksgiving.  It's a harvest and thanks-giving festival originally celebrating the Native Americans that helped the earliest European settlers in America.  We eat roast turkey, potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and various other traditional foods and we tell our family what we're thankful for.  It's a time to be appreciative of family, food, and the fruit of our labor.  It also happens in my favorite season when the air is cool and the leaves are colorful and change is afoot.  This year, I will celebrate with my friends here in Hidaka.

 一番好きなアメリカの祝日はサンクスギビングという。サンクスギビングとは元々アメリカの原住民にヨロパからきた人がもらった食べ物と手伝いの祝いする収穫感謝際。伝統的に七面鳥のロースやマーシュポテトやスターフィンやクランベリーなどの食べ物を食べて何に感謝しているか家族と話す。さては涼しい空気とキレイな紅葉がある季節が一番すき。今年日高村にいる友達とお祝いする予定です。
