３月も半ばに入り、日照時間は確実にのび、気温は日によって違うものの分厚いコートから薄手のコートに変えるほど穏やかになっています。
朝のもんぜん市では菜花や水菜、ほうれん草など葉物野菜が豊富に並ぶようになりました。梅の枝が販売されていたので買って帰り、床の間や蔵などあちこちに挿して、日毎白い蕾が大きくなっていくのを楽しんでいます。一方、いつもは裏庭に賑やかに咲く水仙が、今年は１月に降った雪に潰されたのか殆ど顔を見せてくれません。
先日、お客様からいただいた水仙や椿を梅の枝と一緒に花器に挿してみました。
部屋中に漂う香りがお届けできないのが残念ですが、心が浮き立つほど嬉しいです。
It's already half past March, and sunlight hours are getting longer. The temperature is milder as we change thick coats to thin ones.
We can find spring green vegetables at the local morning market such as canola flowers, potherb mustard and spinach. Since I found plum branches there, I bought them and brought them to my home. I am enjoying the tiny buds of the branches which are in the vase becoming larger day by day. I usually find many daffodil flowers in my backyard, but this year, only a few flowers appeared. It is probably because the snow which accumulated in Jan crushed daffodils.
The other day, one of my customers gave me a bunch of daffodil flowers and camellias, so I put them in vases with plum branches. I wish I could send the nice fragrance of daffodil flowers which enriches me so much.
