you have to see yesterday`s Koko-Yakyu Final with it`s made-for-television ending! and eventhough i went to the Gangara Matsuri in Ikeda, i neither saw any fire nor heard any "gangara". but, i did hear some wonderful live music on the big stage at the Ikeda elementary school `playground`. and took many colorful natsu matsuri (summer festival) photos. that was yesterday and it is now today. その時はその時です。here is an early aki (autumn) photo i took this morning. it was actually a little cool last night which is more than welcome... it is warm again today and the semi are still singing
more of that morning view out the back window
happy blue sky and white clouds
good morning Momiji-san . . . 早く来て下さい。
