In Osaka, the temperature is around 1 ℃ every day in the morning.  It seems that there are places below freezing in some places, but it is relatively warm compared to the weather information received from all over the country.  It seems that there are still many places where the plum blossoms are “buds” or “beginning to bloom”.  The nearby plum garden is not in full bloom yet, and some people enjoy watching plum blossoms by spreading goza mat, but all of them are sitting with archiving their backs.  It’s the coldest time now, and you’ve been patient for a while.  Spring is definitely approaching.

大阪も朝は連日1℃前後の気温が続いています。場所によっては氷点下を下る所もあるようですが、全国各地から届くお天気情報に比べたら比較的温暖なんでしょう。梅の開花状況もまだ、「つぼみ」とか「咲き始め」の所が多いようです。近くの梅園は三分咲きといったところで、ゴザを敷いて梅花見を楽しんでいる人達もいますが、どの人も背中を丸くしています。今がいちばん寒い時期で、もうしばらくの辛抱。春は確実に近づいています。
