Sakura in my backyard

That title is a tad-bit misleading, I live in an apartment, I don’t have a backyard. But these sakura bloom behind my apartment every year and until this year, I hadn't made it outside to photograph them.

毎年にこの桜はアパートの後ろに咲いたけど、今年写真を撮ること始まった。

This year, they only bloomed for 4 days, and then suddenly, it wasn't spring anymore, but summer.

今年に4日間しか咲かなかった。以外に夏が来た。

An afternoon with a friend

Last week, my friend Mayumi invited me to go out to lunch. She used to work at the bank, in town, but she moved to another branch nearby a couple of years ago. I’ve seen her a couple of times since for choir activities, but not very many times.

先週にまゆみと昼ご飯に行くのが決めた。彼女は2年前に同じ町に仕事をしたけど、 引っ越した。その後あまり会えなかった。

Today I met her near her house and we drove into Furano for lunch.

今日まゆみの家の近いに会った。富良野で昼ご飯を食べた。

We went to a nice restaurant called Le Chemin.

このレストランに行った。(たぶん正しいローマ字ができない)。

This is the building. I liked the red door.

この建物。赤いドアが好き。

2013-04-13 2013-04-13 Day with Mayumi 008

A photo of us. Unfortunately, I forgot that when I hand my camera to someone who’s not used to an SLR, I need to set it to dummy mode, so that it takes care of all the settings. We’re slightly out of focus, but the guy behind us is in perfect focus.

私たち。 店員が撮った。 でも、一眼レフがあげる時に簡単モードに変われば良かった。 後ろの人はピントを合わせる、私たちじゃない。

2013-04-13 2013-04-13 Day with Mayumi 007

This was the appetizer. It was pretty yummy.

これはアピタイザー。 美味しかった。

2013-04-13 2013-04-13 Day with Mayumi 001

The next course was potato soup.  The cup was so tiny.

次のコースはスープ。 コップはとても小さかった。

2013-04-13 2013-04-13 Day with Mayumi 002

Mayumi caught me photographing the main course.

まゆみは私がメインの写真を撮った時に写真を撮った。

2013-04-13 17.57.00

Here’s the result. Don’t the meat and veggies look amazing? (Yes, dad, it’s steak)

結果。 美味しそうだよね?

2013-04-13 2013-04-13 Day with Mayumi 003

Tiramisu and apple ice cream for dessert. Yum!

デザトーはティラミスとりんごアイス。 おいしかった!

2013-04-13 2013-04-13 Day with Mayumi 005

After lunch, we went to a nearby onsen. It was so nice and relaxing.

昼ご飯の後に温泉に行った。

We decided after that onsen is always best when followed by ice cream, so we headed to the Furano Cheese Factory. I’d never been. We got to peek in the windows for the factory, but since it was Saturday afternoon, not a lot was happening.

私たちは温泉の後にアイスが最高が決めたから、富良野チーズ工場に行った。私は行ったことない。

Here’s Mayumi with her grape and pumpkin ice cream.

まゆみはぶどうとかぼちゃを食べた。

2013-04-13 2013-04-13 Day with Mayumi 011

I got Haskap and Cheese – I figured it would be like Haskap cheesecake.

私のはハスカップとチーズ。ハスカップのチーズケーキ見たいことが考えかた。

2013-04-13 2013-04-13 Day with Mayumi 012

We talked about my love of big windows both there and at the onsen. I love being able to look out and see what’s happening outside. The cheese factory had a giant window that allowed us to glimpse a bit of the blue sky while it was visiting.

大きい窓が好きから、温泉と工場で話しました。 外を見えることが好き。 少し青空が見えた。

2013-04-13 2013-04-13 Day with Mayumi 014

In the distance you can see Furano’s Ski Resort. Closer, you can see bits of green! That means spring is coming!

富良野スキー場と緑が見えた。だから、春が来る!

Here’s my new friend, Ms. Cow.
