new month new things

 Autumn is here...

The mornings and evenings are cooler, and no humidity...

Fragrance of kinmokusei is in the air.


Yesterday was the Harvest Moon.

The weather dude had mentioned we might not be able to see it because of clouds, but


I saw it as the sun set, it was pinkish and as the moon went to bed the next morning, just before making Satoshi's bento.


Yesterday, I found a butternut squash at the market...teeny, yeah?!

Actually I'm glad it was small, my oven isn't that big...


Roasted and sprinkled with furikake & everything but the bagel seasoning because I couldn't decide which to season the squash with...ha!

Tokyo is now allowed to participate in the "Go To Campaign", be prepared to see Japan's numbers go up...

One of the things the experts in Japan are telling us to do is that when eating out (whether inside or outside), is to eat, put your mask back on, then talk...the experts feel this is what a lot of people are not doing so, so they may be contracting the virus this way.

Acrylic partitions and plastic sheets are all the rage here too...between tables, diners, around cashiers...

Since that is no fun, we will continue to take out instead of eat out...

Hope you are staying safe and keeping zen.

Have a good weekend.

Rowena, the weather dude says that we will have a fahreezing winter...I say, bring it!

Jalna, Autumn & Spring were definitely my favorites but with global warming these seasons are definitely shorter these days...yeah, summer definitely not my favorite too...

Take care you two.
