on the way to the market

I usually go to several different markets, depending on my mood, depending on what I want to cook.

On this particular day, on this route, there is a "house" in our neighborhood that has 3 sakura trees on their property.

I say "house" but on their property there are actually 3 houses! (I've seen the inside when their gate opened to let their car in)

In the foreground there are also these huge sequoia trees, Satoshi says "you can really tell the seasons with these trees".

Actually to the left of this shot, is the other house.

Then in a small alleyway, you pass by a little garden and can see a huge sakura tree which overhangs onto a parking lot.

I love how people here have trees and plants that can be enjoyed throughout the year.

I want to share with you another funny conversation between Satoshi and I recently:
s: (he's reading the newspaper in english) "Kat, do you feel geo-para-dized?"
k: "what?!"
s: geo-para-dized
k: "what?!"
s: geo-para-dized
k: "what are you reading?" (looks at what he is reading)
"jeopardized!"...
(she rolls on the floor laughing...)
