Notes
hydrangea アジサイ;

————————-
I like to go for a walk every day. I started walking about one hour every day last year at the start of the pandemic. Everything was closed for three months, and I wanted to get out of the house and breathe fresh air.
I still go out for a walk almost every day now. I don’t get bored because I listen to a podcast while I’m walking. Besides, the neighborhood is full of flowers. Right now one of Japan’s most beautiful flowers is in bloom: the hydrangea . It comes in many colors, but my favorites are deep blue and purple. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

*************************
Valentine’s Day was four days ago. If you live in Japan, you probably got or gave someone chocolate. In the West, men and women often send valentines to each other. So, what is a valentine? It is a card that tells the other person how much you love him or her. Here are some typical messages: “I love you more than chocolate!” “I want you to be mine!” “Sending you hugs and kisses!” Don’t forget that you don’t have to sign your name. If you are shy, don’t tell that person who sent the valentine. He or she will just have to guess who it is from. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
