Recently, the temperature has risen a little and the sunny weather continues.  However, the wind is cool and I feel that autumn is gradually deepening.  I pulled out the futon from the closet and dried it in the sun.  It smells nice when I put it back in the evening. It is the scent of Kinmokusei(Osmanthus fragrans) blooming side by side nearby. At the beginning of September, Kinmokusei, which began to bloom when the temperature suddenly began to drop, had stopped blooming due to the subsequent rise in temperature, but it seems that it has gained momentum again.  It’s finally autumn.

このところ、少し気温も上がり晴天が続いています。しかし吹く風は涼しく、徐々に秋が深まってきた感じもします。思いたって、押し入れから布団を引っ張り出し、日干しにしました。夕方仕舞おうと布団に近付くといい香りがします。近くに並んで咲いている金木犀の香りです。９月の初め、急に気温が下がり始めた頃に咲き始めた金木犀が、その後の気温上昇で咲き止まっていましたが、ここにきてまた勢いを増したようです。いよいよ秋本番ですね。
