It’s almost spring, which means I’m back with my annual excited post about baseball finally being here. Pitchers and catchers reported to training camp and spring training games are about to begin! I love a lot of sports, but there’s something about baseball that feels special. It could be that there are games every day from spring until fall, so it’s very present for about half of every year. I miss going to games back home, but I plan on going to as many Dragons games as possible. And of course, I will be watching baseball every day from now until November.
Students going to Spring School this year will get to go to an Atlanta Braves game this year, and I’m especially jealous because they’ll be playing my favorite team, the Chicago Cubs! I can’t wait for the regular season to start – and this year it actually kicks off in Japan!

こんにちは。
だんだんと春が近づいてきて、
庭の梅の花がちらほらと咲き始めました。
冬の終わりもすぐそこに見えてきましたね。
みなさんこの季節いかがお過ごしでしょうか?
この間家族の誕生日があり、初めての挑戦をしてみました!
これです!!!
苺が主役のように見えますが、
実はアップルカスタードタルトケーキです(^^♪
まずはタルト生地をオーブンで焼き(プレーンとココアの2層)、
その上にシナモンの香りをつけて焼いたリンゴを敷き詰め、
カスタードクリームをのせた上に苺のスライスをトッピングしました。
想像していたよりも美味しく、しかも簡単にできてしまったのでびっくりしました。
以外に楽しめたので、またチャンスがあれば挑戦したいと思いました!

Today is Ryan’s birthday, so we decided to visit Meiji Mura in Inuyama. I have never visited Meiji Mura before so it was great to see it for the first time. I was surprised to learn that it was actually a kind of park with an admission fee. And also that it was the grounds for a bunch of old historical buildings from throughout Japan. My favorite place to visit was the house of Soseki and Ogai. I actually read some short stories by them when I studied abroad in Tokyo. Plus, I am somewhat of a writer myself.
But the best part (aside from spending the day with Ryan) was trying on hakama. I felt so beautiful despite not being able to breathe very well. Traditional Japanese clothing is quite tight. We only had 5 minutes to take pictures, but I think we made the most of it. Luckily, it was also a beautiful day, so the trip was pleasant, and I got to spend it with someone I care about.

数カ月前からセキュリティの関係でアメリカジョージア州にあるジョージア校にカメラをつけています。夏には緑豊かなジョージアの地も冬はここ岐阜より寒くなります。さずがに雪が降ることは少ないですが、木々の葉も落ちさみしい風景です。それでもあと1ヶ月半で高校生18名が、「スプリングブレイクインアメリカ」でジョージアを訪れます。今年はニューヨークとフロリダも訪問し、かなり温度差がある3か所になります。
