There is no forecast for an extremely hot day today, but the heat is almost that. It looks like we won’t be able to escape the heat this week. Autumn is slowly approaching. The persimmon tree that stands on the side of the promenade is firmly bearing fruit. A short distance away stands a chestnut tree with many chestnut balls. Going summer, coming autumn, my thoughts are complicated. High school baseball finals today. Whether Sendai Ikuei wins or Shimonoseki Kokusai wins, whichever wins, it will be the first victory, and if Sendai Ikuei wins, it will be the first school in the Tohoku region to win. The game will start at 2:00 pm in this intense heat. Don’t lose either!
今日も猛暑日の予報は立っていませんが、ほとんどそれに近い暑さです。今週いっぱいはこの暑さから逃れないようです。それでもじわじわと秋は近づいてきています。散歩道の脇に立つ柿の木に青柿がしっかり実を付けています。少し離れた所には沢山の毬栗を付けた栗の木が立っています。行く夏、来る秋、思いは複雑です。今日は高校野球の決勝戦。仙台育英が勝つか、下関国際が勝つか、いずれが勝っても初優勝で、仙台育英が勝てば、東北地方で初めての優勝校になるそうです。この猛暑の中での戦いは午後2時試合開始です。どちらも負けるな!
