I finally got time to enjoy sakura with my husband and my dog Chilo. Today’s weather wasn't perfect but pleasant⛅️ When we go out, I used to carry Chilo in a dog-carry-backpack on a motorcycle that my husband drives. Chilo used to bark a lot. Today, my husband carried him with the backpack opened. So he could has his head out and has me to keep him safe in the back seat. He was relaxing and quiet. The Sakura on the river banks was full blooming. It's so beautiful. 🌸🌸🌸 Kyoto is away full of tourists but not since last year because of covid. It makes more room for locals, but I wish more people can enjoy this gorgeous scenery:)

I’ve just watered my garden. The water drops on the leaves are so pretty to look at🌿🌿🌿

Sakura is starting to fall. Petals whirl in the wind like light-snow. It's so beautiful and pleasant to appreciate. Like every Sakura season, families and friends enjoy the nice view under cheery trees. The ground is coved by white and pink cherry blossoms. I picked few ones to play with my dog Chilo. He wasn't interested, because he got too many places to put his nose into😂

I cleaned up my garden today. The Japanese garden is very delicate and hard to manage. Especially Karesansui gardens, also known as rock gardens, dry landscape gardens, and waterless stream gardens. In white rocks, weeds are exposed easily and needed to be removed. Young weeds are hard to pick up, but pull out big ones may mess the soil and rocks. Dropped flowers are beautiful but needed to be cleaned up before they losing their colors. I love spring, however, I need to put much more effort into my garden.

Apple TV+ is broadcasting a new series named "Calls". Each episode tells a story through interconnected phone conversations. There's no scene to tell the stories, requires the audience's imagination. I've only watched two episodes, both are supernatural stories. It's hard to say that this is good series, but I will try to hang on to it for a while. By the way, Sakura is almost full bloom in the park that I walk every day. It's so beautiful🌸🌸🌸

I enjoy seeing these little cute faces when spring comes into my garden🌷🌷🌷

This is Temari-Sushi from Kyoto. A special Sushi for Gesha and Maiko(pic 3). Normally, Sushi is bite-size, but Temari-Sushi is even smaller so that they can eat it gracefully without losing their lip colors:)

Hi, everyone! I'm Koori. I'm teaching Chinese to Japanese as a spare-time work, and I'm planning to post some useful and popular Chinese words for my students. And this idea popped up. Post those words in English for self-improvement and help people with their Chinese in the meantime. 恋爱脑 　liàn ài nǎo 恋爱脑 means people who think that love(between lovers) is everything, nothing more important than loving each other and put all their energy and efforts into it. Please tell me how to say 恋爱脑 in English, because I have no idea. wǒ bù xǐ huan liàn ài nǎo nǚ yǒu 我不喜欢恋爱脑女友。 I don't like liàn ài nǎo girlfriend. tā shì liàn ài nǎo 他是恋爱脑。 He is a liàn ài nǎo-person.

I had a fun night with my friend yesterday. We had dinner at a Chinese restaurant that serves Sichuan food. Sichuan is my hometown. I was surprised by the variety of the menu. The food was amazing😋Definitely goes to the top of my favorite restaurant list. After dinner, we visited a shrine to see the night-up of its’ plum garden. Well, it was beautiful, but I prefer to see them in the daytime.
