The season of tender green (2) Rain, rain, rain...

During the second half of the Golden Week at my second house, cold rain kept falling, and the wood stove was still needed. The outside temperature in early morning was around 8 degrees centigrade (46 degrees Fahrenheit), and the highest temperature during the day was around 11 or 12 degrees centigrade (51 - 53 degrees Fahrenheit).

Dense fog rose during the morning of May 8th.


Even the garden of my second house was like this. Although it looked fantastic, it was unpleasant wheather for me as I had been expecting to play golf under pleasant highland breeze.

　　
Some scenary of the season at my second house between showers.

Once the fog was cleared and rain stopped falling, Kai-Komagatake Mountain appeared beyond the fresh green forest. The cloud still remained between the mountains and this side of the valey.


Yatsugatake Mountains, which rise in the north of the second house, showed the great body covered with fresh green forest.
