The maple festival

I got to my father's home at 10:30a.m. When I unlocked the front door Gonta hurled against the door and he barked with joy. Because he was alone overnight. The entrance was really in a mess because of him. I guessed he got into a panic with loneliness. I walked him at once, then I gave him some food. He ate it up quickly.
My husband came to my father's home at noon. Gonta romped around him with joy. My husband and I walked Gonta at 3:00p.m. Gonta looked like he was very happy.
My husband and I went home, then we went to see the maple festival in the forest park at night. The event place was illuminated by colorful lights. There  were many lamps on the side of the alley. Many maple trees were illuminated by brights lights. They were really beautiful, so I was moved by them. I felt I was in a different world.

A chrysanthemum festival

My husband and I went to see a chrysanthemum festival which was held at a temple on our way to my father's home. The festival is held at the temple every year. I was used to seeing it with my mother every year. While watching many chrysanthemums I remembered my mother and my memories. After watching the event, my husband and I took a rest at an open-air cafe in the temple. We had a cup of coffee and  one stick of dango. Then we went to my father's home. Gonta welcomed us. Gonta was stroked on his head by my husband, so he looked like he was happy.

a glass cleaner

I made a glass cleaner for my next aromatherapy and a herbal lesson for a trial product. I failed in making it two times, but I succeeded in making it third time. I tried to use it on a window at once. Its ingredients are baking soda, apple cider vinegar, water and some drops of some essential oils.

My lesson

I gave a lesson on aromatherapy and a herbal lesson in the afternoon. I gave the pouches which I made to my students. Every one of my students were glad with them. They enjoyed making potpourri. Each of their potpourri had really nice fragrances. Maybe I guessed their choices from many bottles of essential oils were very good.

My homework

I sneezed many times and I had a runny nose all day, so I took some herbal medicine before every meal. I felt tired all day, but I didn't want to spent useless time, so I cut some materials to make 2 teddy bears for my homework in the afternoon. After I finished to cut for them, I watched my favorite drama series on video which I had recorded.

Holland's art exhibition

I met friend Tae at noon. She had 2 Holland's art exhibition tickets, so we went to the art museum to see it. There were many rough drawing works from long ago. They looked like photographs. I bought some postcards at the art museum. Then we took a rest at a cafe. We were absorbed in chatting for 2 hours and a half.

Walking

It was really chilly today, so I wore warmer clothes than usual. I went to my father's home in the afternoon. I walked Gonta to a river near my father's home. The cherry trees along the river bank didn't have almost half of their leaves. Gonta smelled their fallen leaves and he stepped on them on purpose. He sometimes chewed them noisily, so I stopped him chewing them.

Many pouches

I stayed at home all day. I made many pouches for my next lesson's potpourri. I watched my favorite drama series on video which I had recorded while sewing them. But I had to read the subtitles, so I sometimes stopped sewing. After supper, I sewed them. I finally finished doing them at 11:00p.m.

My new dictionary

My husband and I went to the book festival in Kanda. The festival was crowded with many people. I wanted to buy an English-English dictionary for my English study. I found an English-English electronic dictionary. I was going to buy it, but I changed my mind. Because my husband recommended another electronic dictionary for me. The dictionary contains 66 dictionaries and it costs 12000 yen. I liked it, so I bought it. I bought an electronic dictionary by 2000 yen at the same event last year, so I have 2 electronic dictionaries. But the new one is really functional. I'll use the dictionaries properly.

a little advemture

My husband and I went to my father's home in the afternoon. When Gonta looked at us, he barked and jumped with his joy. I did housework as usual, then we walked Gonta. We went to a park near a river. This was my and Gonta's third visit to the park, but my husband's first visit. We found a steep flight of stairs in the park, so we tried to go up the stairs.Then there was a forked road and two signs. The left sign said,"Atago Shrine", and the right sign said,"Enmei Jizo(=a life lengthening guardian deity)". We went to the shrine first, and then we went to the jizo. I felt today's walking was a little adventures. We enjoyed walking.
