Dear friends,
How was your weekend?
We had a lot of rain these past few days.
In front of the Shumei center, many pansies that had reseeded themselves from last year bloomed beautifully and spread all across the property.
When I discovered them, I was so happy. But since a different plant is planning to grow in the same place, I have been carefully transplanting the little pansies to another location.
These naturally growing, lovely flowers bring me comfort and remind me of the strength and beauty of life.
Have a wonderful week.
Thank you,
Nahoko Furuoka
