今日は雲ひとつない晴天。
せっかくだからと、友人を誘って、彼女と一緒に山菜取りに出かけました。
今年は雪が多かったから、山のあちこちに残雪がちらほら。そんな景色を眺めながら、春を探して山を歩くのもまた一興です。
こごみ、ふきのとう、たらの芽、うるい──。
自然の恵みを、欲張らずに、少しずつ。
摘み取った山菜たちを手にすると、なんだか心がほっこりしてきます。山に入ると、不思議と「ありがたみ」が実感できるものですね。
帰り道、近くの牧場でソフトクリームを。
山の空気と春の日差しを浴びながら食べるソフトクリームは、これまた格別。友人も彼女も、いい顔してました。甘いものは、年齢問わず世界を平和にする気がします。
そんなこんなの週末。
小さなことだけど、心に栄養たっぷりな一日になりました。
最後にひとこと。
「山菜とソフトクリーム、どっちも旬は逃すな！」──なんてね。
2025/4/26 Weekend Diary
Today is a clear day with not a single cloud in the sky.
Since it was such a good time, I invited my friend and went out to pick wild vegetables with her.
There was a lot of snow this year, so there are still snows here and there on the mountain. It is also fun to walk in the mountains looking for spring while looking at such scenery.
Kogomi, butterbur, tara no buds, urui.
Enjoy the blessings of nature little by little, without being greedy.
When I hold the wild vegetables I picked in my hands, my heart feels warm. When I go into the mountains, I can strangely feel “grateful”.
On the way back, I had soft-serve ice cream at a nearby farm.
Eating soft-serve ice cream while basking in the mountain air and spring sunshine is also special. Both my friend and her looked happy. I feel like sweet things bring peace to the world, regardless of age.
That’s how my weekend went.
It’s a small thing, but it was a day full of nourishment for my heart.
One last thing.
“Don’t miss the season for both wild vegetables and soft serve ice cream!” — or something like that.
