I had a lot of free time during the State of Emergency, so I started gardening. I’ve been working on improving my cooking, so I wanted to grow some herbs and vegetables. I got some free basil seeds, and, now, the seedlings are doing well. I also saved some paprika seeds and dried them in the sun. I was surprised that they actually sprouted. I hope I can cook with them in a few months.

Thanks to Michael Shillingburg for the gif from Gifhy
I’m from Arkansas in the U.S. There are a lot of wild animals, and sometimes I miss being close to nature. So, when I see animals in Japan, I usually take a picture. There’s a small river near my apartment, and in the morning there are usually koi swimming around. It makes me want to go fishing. The other day I was at Magomezawa station and I saw some baby birds in a nest. Their mom was flying back and forth bringing them food. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a picture because she was too fast! In a few weeks I’m planning to go hiking somewhere on the Chiba peninsula, so I hope I can get some pictures of some other animals.

Sam Cooke wasn’t that good in school.

Have a fantastic weekend!
Last month, I was craving some Mexican food, so I cooked some black beans with taco rice and guacamole. Then I made these tequila sunrises to go with it. Keeping with the Mexican theme, my boyfriend and I watched Instructions Not Included while we ate. The movie was hilarious and the ending was really unexpected. It was a great night.

One of my favorite walking courses is to get off the train at Kinshicho station and walk to Skytree. After that, I head to Sumidagawa and walk along the path beside the water to the Asahi building. Then, I usually cross the bridge and take a picture of all of the buildings together. Here are a couple of pictures from my last walk around that area.
If you get a chance, you should try that course. It’s nice.
Do you have any favorite routes to walk? Please share it with us

I can always tell when adults are about to cry.
(大人が泣きそうな時っていっつもわかる)
tell
見分ける
tellは「伝える」という意味でみなさんご存じの単語かと思いますが、「見分ける(聞き分ける)」「わかる」
という意味でも非常によく使います。
例：I can’t tell the difference between American accent and British accent.
(アメリカ訛りとイギリス訛りの違いがわからない)
例:How can you tell if diamonds are real?
(ダイアモンドが本物かどうかってどうやってわかるの？)
be about to+動詞の原形

例：I am about to sleep.
(今から寝るとこ)
例：I was about to call you.
(ちょうど君に電話しようと思ってたとこなんだ)
