It is a very cold day today, however, we can enjoy looking up at the sky with big-heartedness.

It was really cold last night. This morning I found it snowed a little during the night. The letter is “glob”.

Looking at the pretty heavy snowfall today, I thought I would write a Chinese poem on snow. I searched and found this one. It roughly depicts “Although heavy snowfall pressurizes green pine trees, they keep standing straight. We should learn and follow their examples and patiently wait for the time of melting snow.” Nevertheless, it is certainly cold and my fingers feel so cold.
The photos don’t show pine trees. The pine tree I remember now is the one that used to be in the garden of my mother’s parents’ house that my grandpa was really proud of.

雪がたくさん積もりましたので、そんな漢詩を探しました。「雪が青い松を圧しているようだが、松はそのままに真っ直ぐ。その高潔さを見習って雪解けの時を待つべきだ」とのこと。でも、実際寒いし、指先が冷たいのです。
写真には松の木は写っていません。今思い出すのは、母の実家にあった大きな松の木で、祖父が大事にしていたものです。

It is cold today and it feels like it is getting colder. The weather forecast says it will get even colder from tomorrow, which I don’t like.

This is the symbolic expression for this time of year, meaning “Qi (life energy) of heaven and earth closes up to go into the winter season”. It is cold for sure. Especially I find it difficult to get up in the morning these days.

今ぐらいの時期の七十二候の名称です。天地の氣が塞がって冬になるという意味だそうです。確かに、寒い。とりわけ朝起きるのが辛いのです。

〜Nandina fruits 真っ正直な〜
.
Little scarlet nandina fruits look so attractive in this cold weather. The haiku poet, I think, found them sort of “straightforwardly” red.

寒い季節の赤い実は魅力的です。真っ直ぐに紅いということですかね。
