A long, good friend of my mother’s came to us and gave us a cluster of high quality grapes.　As today falls on my grandfather’s monty anniversary of death, both my mother and I were very happy to offer them at the family buddhist altar.　Sincere care about our ancestors is my mother’s important view on life.

Until it is almost black/

The purple of the grapes/

Deepens/

母の旧い知り合いが上等の葡萄をくださいました。今日は祖父の月命日なので、先ずは仏様にお供えしました。ご先祖を大事にするというのは母の基本人生観です。
