久しぶりの青空 First Blue Sky in Days

 昨日までの雨から一転、今朝は雲ひとつない青空でした。防寒具なしでも心地よい暖かさで、歩いているうちに眠くなるほど。城北中央公園手前の草地のソメイヨシノは川沿いのよりも若干遅れて咲くので、まだまだ6部咲き程度です。週末も今日のように最高気温が17-18℃の予報なので、ゆっくり開花が進みそう。

After the bitterly cold rain over the last several days, the sky was absolutely blue this morning.  With the warm sun and cool breeze, I got almost sleepy as we walked.  The cherry trees in this field, which is a part of the Johoku Central Park, always start blooming several days after those along the river.  As of this morning, the flowers seem to be open about 60% of the way.  The maximum temperature is expected to remain at 17-18℃, the same as today, so the flowers will open at a moderate pace.


週末にこの草地は花見客で地面が埋め尽くされるでしょう。
During the weekend, this ground will be filled with people enjoying long picnic lunches.










帰る前に一休みしてタイガのオヤツ(カワハギの皮?の細切り)。
Before heading home, we sat down for Taiga's treat (skin of dried filefish).
