７月４日（火曜日）２０２３
朝早く自転車を走らせた時の爽快感は、昼近くの気温の上昇と湿気で真夏日を思わせる気だるさに変わっていました。自転車に乗りながら聞こえてきたのは今年初めての蝉の声。梅雨明けはまだですが、暑い１日でした。
昨夜見た美しい満月。今年もA先生からいただいた龍潭寺木槿の清楚な白。端から端まで２メートルもある巣の中心の見事な黄金蜘蛛（こがねぐも）。７月初めの清々しく生き生きとした風景に圧倒されます。
Today, I felt so good when I rode my bicycle in the early morning, but it turned hot and humid at noon like summer and I felt so tired. It was the first time I heard the sound of cicadas this year when I was on the bicycle. Although the rainy season is not over yet, it was a really hot day.
The full moon I saw last night was so beautiful. The MUKUGE (hibiscus syriacus) which was from Mr. A was pure white. Koganegumo (Argiope amoena) in a big spider web in the backyard looked greatly dignified. They look so fresh and lively in early July and I am amazed by them.
