敷地の最も奥で、リビング横の狭い場所のヒガンバナが咲き始めました。家々に囲まれて日当たりが悪いので、いつも玄関前のヒガンバナが咲き終わったころに開花します。去年より花数が増えたので定着しそうです。背後に見えるシダ類はヒカゲオニワラビですが、買って10年以上経っているかもしれないのに一本も収穫できたことありません。地上に顔を出した時点で葉っぱが開いているし、ほっそい。
At the back of my house, there is a tiny space where spider lilies are growing. This spot remains in the shadow of houses for most of the day, except for a few hours at midday when the sun passes above. As a result they come into bloom after the spider lilies in front of the porch are gone. Having started with one bulb, the number of flowers seems to be increasing year by year, so they must be thriving.
Thanks to staggered blooming, I can enjoy the flowers twice in one autumn.
タイガの歯磨きあとのご褒美にオヤツ。テレビ通販で宣伝している歯磨きジェルを使い始めて２か月目。とくに効果は見られないですが、タイガは以前のメーカーのよりも味が気に入ったらしく、嬉しそうに磨かせてくれます。なのであと２か月くらいは続けてみようと思います。
Taiga gets a treat after toothbrushing. I started using a new brand advertised on TV - it is quite an expensive brand but I see little difference so far after one month. However, I will continue the monthly subscription for another 2 months in case it works. At least, Taiga seems to like it much more than the previous brand which she has used for the last 10 years.
甲斐犬はジミー、でもこの雰囲気がたまりません。
オヤツ美味しかった？
Enjoyed the treat?
The Kaiken is stoic and never makes loud demands like the Husky. Moreover, Taiga never comes snuggling up to me and prefers to be left alone - she is so low key. Still, I see a unique charm in her.
