Construction workers have replaced plants outside our apartment
今ベランダで植物の代わりに、作業員の人たちがたくさん居ます。たまにうるさい音がしますけれど、計画的に仕事をして、礼儀正しいです。中で見ていないふりをします。まるでいつもと変わらないふりです。
No one likes construction. However, the workers are extremely organized and polite. When they pass by, they pretend not to look inside. And we pretend not to see them.
Planning a small garden at a new house in Nakano
駅の途中、最近できた家の外に、小さな庭を作るようです。楽しみです。
I was so happy to see that the new neighbors are putting in a small garden. They built their house on a lot that used to have weeds and summer-time bats, after holding a Shinto ceremony. I am excited to see what they plant.
Leap Day snow falling on the Sobu line train
うるう年の２月２９日は雪がたくさん降っていました。いつも行く東京の道や場所を、新鮮な目で見たかったです。総武線のホームから。
Leap Day in Tokyo saw a surprising amount of snow, falling in large gobs from the sky and from roofs. Someone tipped me off that the trains are less impacted than the underground subway, and that snow slows the city less than rain. I took photos of a routine trip from my home.
The snow helped me see Tokyo again from a fresh perspective.
