A spring like day for housework

[katriona_s]

This weekend the temperature has been oddly high, it's really like spring days. In our garden Ume tree is in full bloom, its flowers' scent is subtle but wonderful :)



Yesterday afternoon and today I have waxed the wooden floors of my house. It's a bit tough job but somewhat enjoyable :)



But of course this tired me :( At least I don't need to do this again until next winter X)

From our north window we can see the neighbors garden in which they have some nice garden trees. Their citrus tree looks like the tree in a picture book, with its young yellow fruits in green XD

Some tasks are more demanding, aren´t they? But wood is a fine material and deserves the care. After all, the result is fantastic!
Oh, your Ume tree is so beautiful! And you are right, your neighbour´s garden looks like a botanical garden - oh dear, there is a lot of fruit there!

Thank you, and yes, I love the wooden floor very much. Walking on it with bare feet is really good :)

It seems you have flowers almost all year round in Japan. All so pretty.

Yes, even in midwinter we have some flowers - at least here in Yokohama. After all, in our area we seldom have snow even in midwinter…

So pretty! I love citrus trees.

What sort of wood is your floor?

[katriona_s]

This floor is Hinoki cypress, I think. One of the best and most popular building material in Japan.

It's a beautiful tree! ♥ And waxing your floors sounds like a tough job, but it turned out beautifully, too.
