At Haruhi-en Niho

It was warm afternoon, finally. Warm sunlight was streaming in Haruhi-en.

They spent time on their own.

One was talking her friend on the phone about how she has been doing here.

 Another was folding her own laundry.

Still another told me about the village nearby he was brought up, looking over the village through the window.

It is very fun to hear their stories. It brings us something new.

Mr. U: “Well, people up there were kind of that.”

Q-taro: !!!

Some stories give me cold sweat, which have many names of people and companies.

At Haruhi-en Niho 

It snowed just as a weather forecast said.

It snows at Niho more than at around the central part of Yamaguchi-shi.

We had snow on the ground, and it was still snowing daytime.

There was no one who wanted to go out.

 Oh, Who made the snowman on a table outside?

Our boss?

 Mr. T: “So cold! Hey, don’t catch a cold!”

Mr. U:”Gee! I was planning to go home today, though!”

At Haruhi-en Tsuwano

We tried a traditional way of sweeping out dust around the porch and a Japanese-style room by using scattered used wet tea leaves today. Our residents used to do it at their houses in those days. It surprised me a lot. We swept the floor to gather the tea leaves and the dust adhered to the used wet tea leaves. We could gathered the dust very well. Thanks to the traditional way of cleaning!
