Gonta's favorite mat

I went to my father's home in the afternoon. I walked Gonta after I did housework and I cooked food for him. It was a really warm today, so we went to my favorite park near a river. We tried to go up a steep flight of stairs this time, too. Gonta was in high spirits and he ran up the stairs. So I said to him," Wait,wait! You are a dog, but I'm a human. I can't run at the same pace as you. Then he stopped running and he looked back at me, but when I caught up with him, he started to run again. After I gave some food to him and I played with him, I gave him his favorite mat. After a while I went to see how he was doing. He had dozed off on the mat. The mat was folded by me when I gave it to him, but he had spread it out by himself. I guessed he was very excited so he was very tired. He looked like he was satisfied and happy.

The Ginkgo festival

My husband and I went to Meiji Jingu Gaien Ginkgo festival. There were many fallen leaves there, so they looked like a yellow carpet. The season of the Ginkgo passed its peak, so there were not many people there. There were many booths at the place. We bought a cup of caffe latte and a steam manju(=Japanese-style bun stuffed with adzuki-bean paste). While eating we watched a street performer's performance at the place. We spent an expansive time there.

Some knitting pieces

I went to my father's home in the afternoon. I found some knitting pieces which my mother knitted. I brought them home and I thought about what I could make with them. After supper, I thought of making cover for my electronic dictionary. I started to make the cover at once. I put a piece of lace and a button as a finish on the cover. I could make use of my mother's unfinished works, so I was really happy.

My homework

I stayed at home all day. I made a teddy bear for my homework. I struggled to make the face, so I made it again and again. I finally finished it in the evening. I really concentrated making the teddy bear, so I was very tired.

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.
