Bird Feeding in Winter

This morning I found there was a lot of Snow in my garden.

I removed snow to get to the Bird Feeding Place.

They are very careful against Human Kind. If I get closer to take a photo, they will immediately fly away.

I hope they can survive this winter.

I have just found that Narcissus Flowers are Blooming at the Edge of my Garden.

That’s it for yesterdays’ photos.

Chicken Stew in Tomato Sauce

They have been in Freezer since the last summer.

I boiled them and cooked chicken stew.

What is a Good thing is that Salmons can be soft by Boiling Hours and Hours

I Bought Salmon’s Heads with Reasonable Price in a Super market in my Community

Boiling Many Hours Made even Salmons’ Heads Soft. Yes they are Edible!!!

All these photos have already been shown in my Blog here. I just uploaded them again because I cannot take any photos outside due to bad weather of the season in Northern Japan.

I found that it’s Already December. But Let me Upload Photos of November

I set up a Feeding Place for Sparrows so that They can Survive Winter

Daikon, or Japanese Radish from my Garden. They can surely help me cut the cost of living

Slices of Salty Egg Plants and Small Tomato; I just wanted them to be colorful on the Supper Table.

Green Vegetables in my Garden. They are Strong against Cold. But once covered with Snow, I don’t want to dig them out of the snow.

Lunar Eclipse on November Eighth; I should have used a Tripod, though the tripod is being used to fix a web-camera for my online classes of Japanese language

There are Two types of Camellia: Tsubaki and Sazanka. I cannot tell the differences between the two, though.

I planted a “High-class” Persimmon Five years ago. At last I got just one Persimmon this year. I succeeded on getting rid of bitterness by applying strong alcohol on top. It became So SWEET!!!

Boiled with Soy Sauce; Neck of Yellow-tail

Chrysanthemum Flowers are still Blooming in my Gardens

Actually People in Niigata eat Chrysanthemum Petals. But this is not to eat, but is Ornamental

Colorful and Bright Flowers Last Short by Winter’s coming

These photos were taken on November 19, 2022. I don’t have time to write some comments today because my job is still busy. Soon I have to prepare for the final examination for my students.

Chrysanthemum in my Garden. It’s Late Autumn.

Chrysanthemum in my Garden, in Niigata, Northern JAPAN

Colorful Flowers are Blooming not only in my garden but also in neighbors’ gardens

I want to plant more to make my garden bright because it is so dark in late autumn in Niigata.
