The dead grass was frosted and shimmered in the morning sun, but now it has completely disappeared and my silhouette is casting a shadow.  The number of people infected with corona has decreased completely, and I was surprised at the large number of people on the holidays the other day, but I am glad that the liveliness is gradually returning.  A Christmas tree is already displayed in a nearby department store, and Christmas songs are playing.  This busyness is the same as usual, but this year I feel special.   I haven’t seen my grandchildren overseas for two years, but I would like to see them as soon as possible.

枯れた芝に霜が降り朝日にキラキラと煌めいていましたが、今はすっかり消えて、自分のシルエットが影を落としています。コロナ感染者数もすっかり減り、先日の祭日の人出の多さには驚きましたが、徐々に活気が戻ってきている事は嬉しい事です。近くのデパートにはもうクリスマスツリーが飾られ、クリスマスソングが流れています。この気忙しさは例年の事ですが、今年は格別な思いがします。海外にいる孫達とも二年は会っていませんが、出来るだけ早く会いたいものです。
