Sun Dappled Path
During Golden Week, I tried to getvout a bit more since the weather was so nice. One place I went was a park near one of the stations on my train line. Although it was only a few minutes from the station, I had no idea it existed until recently. I was also surprised by […]

The supermarket was selling sunflowers a while back, so I bought a few to decorate my apartment.
