Tiny Bouqet

One of my students surprised me today with a small, but extremely beautiful bouquet as a Christmas gift.


The colors are incredibly deep and lovely.

There are some tiny pine branches in with the flowers that give it a nice Christmas feel. It really brightens up my desk and I very much appreciate the student's thoughtfulness.

Demonstrations

It's been raining all day in Tokyo. It's been around 90 degrees Fahrenheit/32 degrees Celsius for most of the day. There has been thunder and lightning on and off (much to my delight) and it's super muggy (much less so to my delight).

I went out into the super hot kitchen and baked pumpkin bread for my CH. He went to the local store and surprised me by sweating and dragging back an entire case of Coke Zero so I wouldn't have to make as many trips to the stores in the blazing heat in the coming weeks. The little difficulties we voluntarily endure to make each other happy are just one of the things which demonstrate our love for one another.
