When I went out onto the deck in the morning,
I felt a gentle warmth in the air.
It's much warmer than usual this morning.

I had a feeling it was going to be a hot day from the morning.

The temperature is rising rapidly.
The temperature exceeded 20 degrees Celsius around lunchtime.

Due to the rise in temperature after the rain,
Many things suddenly started to sprout.
They really do sprout up in rapid succession.
With astonishing speed.


This year, the magnolia blossoms are different from usual.
It bloomed beautifully.
Finally.

Every year,
"They won't bloom, they won't bloom."
He was grumbling about this in front of Kobushi.

This is my ninth spring since coming to this house in the woods.
The magnolia tree was there from the beginning.
It was a relatively large sapling.

When they were first planted,
I thought maybe they weren't used to the area...
But even after that, they didn't bloom for quite some time.

Finally, a few years ago,
It started to produce two, then three flowers.

I couldn't find many buds this year either.
This magnolia tree is no longer a "tree that blooms,"
I was starting to think that way.

But!
When I looked in the afternoon,
Look, it's blooming with so many white flowers!

It's not as impressive as a magnificent magnolia tree,
The number of flowers is completely different from what we've seen before.

Has he finally shown some motivation?
Or perhaps they're saying, "They won't bloom, they won't bloom."
I wonder if they could hear the voices I was making?

In places where it is not visible,
They must have been preparing for this all along.

The time spent waiting,
They are surely nurturing something.

I'm looking forward to next year and beyond.


The magnolia flower is a flower that heralds the beginning of spring.
It blooms before the cherry blossoms, being the first to bloom in spring.

After enduring a harsh winter,
It will bloom with pure white flowers.

They are commonly seen around here.
The sight of those white flowers in full bloom was,
It's truly beautiful.

Spring has finally arrived in full force.


As for the magnolias, they bloomed profusely this year!
