This cherry tree in #Mimata #Miyazaki is acting like it is Spring. I guess Autumn took so long to get started that the tree thought winter wasn't going to come this year.

People don't through the sacred shrine stuff in the garbage. You have to take it to a shrine for a sacred burn. Our new friends (old people we got to know last year) told us about this bamboo burning event tonight. Mimata does it on Jan. 7th. It was a great chance to toss our sacred shrine thingies into the fire, along with the soon-to-be-moldy 鏡餅　Mochi pounded rice cakes. You're supposed to wait until the 15th to deal with the Mochi, but it's been getting warm in the afternoons: who knows when it would have starting getting green... #HayamaJinJya #Mimata #Miyazaki #三股町 #宮崎県 #早馬神社

Great season to see the sunrise, it's not too early or too cold.... #sunrise #Mimata #Miyazaki #三股町 #日の出

I should go to the local flower shop on #caturday , but it's always an impulse stop after a quick run to a little supermarket in preparation for a spaghettie meal... #cat #Mimata
