Back from that other planet...

... called Golden Week. I don't remember any Golden Week with such bad weather like this year (as far we here in the Kanto area are concerned). Rain, too chilly, unsteady or not enough wind for the giant kites... Of course the sun came out again when everybody had to go back to work, really too bad.
So, with the child back to the kindergarten and the husband out of the house again as well, this blogging girl is resuming course, too. Hi!

Here a few photos from the day we went to see the kites...

Very much longed for kakigori (shaved ice) season has kicked off.

A kite.

Back with new photos of the leaves quilt soon!

I just love that name, Golden Week, it's so full of the promise of adventure. And I adore the picture of the kites.

Hey, I used to have pants like that (last photo) back in the 80's, they were called sarouel. I always thought they were North African, interesting to see them in Japan.
