Spring Garden and Cat Story
Well, finally, my garden looks like spring energy came back after the long cold winter. I love spring plants and flowers because they are such tough and cheerful living things. I am always amazed at their cycles. They always come back to the same spot, which gives me a very delightful moment. I will show you some of my garden plants.
These are moss in my backyard. I love moss very much. I heard that my husband saw someone plant moss in their garden instead of growing lawns. In our garden, we don't plant lawns like an organized yard. Our yard has a natural variety of grass, including some lawn. There are clovers and many different kinds of wild plants.
There is a spot for moss as well. I think I would like to expand the moss section as well. They are very healthy and moist. I will let them grow more and more.
They are lupinus. I planted seeds which I got from the field. They look very healthy even though they struggled last year. I love seeing them again!
I see the small daylily there. I hope it will grow well. This daylily was originally dropped by crows. I planted it, and it grows back every year like this.
One of my favourite flowers is the dandelion. They look happy and tasty.
They are violets. I love their purple colour!
They are not in my garden. I took this daffodil photo in town. They look very pretty. I don't have daffodils in my garden, but I would like to get them someday!
I see somebody on the grass next to the road near my house. I heard about this cat a few months ago from its owner. The owner was looking for this cat because someone told him that they saw a dead cat near the street. Then, the owner of this cat questioned us when we went for a walk with our dog.
I felt so sorry because I had seen this cat sometimes on this street. However, I didn't believe that story because I saw a garbage bag near the main street, not this street. Someone misunderstood when they saw a fast food garbage bag next to the street. I never told that to the cat owner, but I secretly believed that the cat was still alive.
Yes! I see a cat like this these days. I knew it! I never imagined this tough cat would die next to the road.
This is my favourite Forsythia tree on my property. It looks gorgeously blooming now!

春の庭と猫の話
さてさて、長くて寒い冬が過ぎ去りやっと我が家の庭にも春の息吹が感じられます。春に咲く植物は元気でかわいらしくて大好きです。植物の自然のサイクルにはいつも驚かされます。毎年同じ場所に戻ってきますし、明るさを分け与えてくれます。庭の植物をいくつかご紹介します。
これは裏庭の苔です。私は苔が好きです。主人が芝生をやめて苔をたくさん植えたという人の映像を見たそうです。私たちの庭にはきれいに整えられた芝生が生えているような庭とはちょっと違い、購入するような芝生を植えていません。クローバーなどのさまざまな種類の野花や雑草が生えています。
苔の部分もあります。うちにも苔の部分をもっと増やしたいと考えています。とても健康的でしっとりしています。もっと自由に増えてほしいです。
これはルピナス（昇藤）です。野原でとった種を植えました。去年は少々元気がなくなったことがあったのですが、今年は元気そうです。また今年も生えてくれてよかったです！
これはユリです。頑張って育ってほしいです。これは元々はカラスが落としていったものです。拾って植えてから毎年咲くようになりました。
私の好きな花の一つ、たんぽぽです。嬉しそうで美味しそうです。
これはスミレです。この紫の色がいいですね！
これはスイセンですが、うちの庭の花ではなく町で撮った写真です。とても美しい。うちの庭にはスイセンがありませんがいつかほしいです。
誰かさんが道路横の草の上に座っていますね。数ヶ月前にこの猫ちゃんのお話を飼い主さんから聞きました。犬の散歩中に、飼い主さんが飼い猫を探して歩いているところに遭遇しました。話を聞くと、飼い主さんの知り合いがこの猫ちゃんの死体らしきものを道路の側で見たと連絡が来たというのです。飼い主さんは私たちに「猫の死骸を見たか？」と聞いてきました。
この猫とは散歩中に何度か出会したことがあるので、とても悲しく感じました。しかし、私はその話を信じられませんでした。道路の横には紙袋のゴミが落ちているのを知っていたからです。その飼い主さんの知り合いの方は、道路脇のファストフードのゴミの紙袋を見て猫の死体だと勘違いしたのだと私は思ったのです。でも、そのことを飼い主さんには伝えませんでした。私の中では猫は生きていると信じていました。
やっぱり！最近またこの猫ちゃんを見かけるようになりました。ほらね、この猫ちゃんは道端で死ぬようなやわな猫ではないと思っていました。
これは庭に咲くレンギョウの木です。ただいま、とっても豪華に咲き乱れています。

Thank you for your kind comment! I have many wild plants in my garden. I take care of them but don't manage too much. I want them to grow wilder as much as they can.
Very beautiful pictures and very beautiful your garden, the plants look very fresh even though one of them was struggling last year hehe
Thank you! I hope we have bees this year. Last year, we didn't have enough bees, unfortunately, and it affected my plants a lot. Yes, they are beautiful wild plants!
さてさてはどういう意味ですか.
Probably a greetings.
But I heard it many times in anime.
さてさて means, 'Alright, well, then, or now…' in English. Usually, we use it for the beginning of the sentence or changing the topic. Yeah, you are right. Manga or anime characters often say so.
