夜明け前の力強い光の変化が好き。 I love watching the sky right before sunrise. The color changes every second.
朝焼けとテキサスセージが競い合っていた。 The morning glow and the Texas sage plant competed with each other.
“どっちが綺麗? Which is prettier?”
”一人ずつだと1と1だけど、今日は二人一緒になってともっと素晴らしくなってるよ。どっちが綺麗じゃなくて、1+1が3になった朝。 It’s not that either one is prettier. Each of you are 1, but together, you made something more this morning. In this case, 1+1 became 3!”
朝目が覚めたら窓の外のテキサスセージが朝日を浴びて踊っていた。 The Texas Sage right outside of our bedroom window was dancing with joy, getting plenty of sunshine when I woke up.
前回の嵐で一気に花が散ってしまったから、今年はじっくり鑑賞してあげられなかったなと思っていた。だから、きっと自然からの贈り物。もう一度美しい花を愛でることができるように。 It was so pretty before the last storm but lasted only one day because the storm blew all the petals away. I was reluctant to accept that I would not be able to gaze at them this year anymore. But look at this! This is a gift from nature for me to enjoy the lovely flowers again.
早速裏庭に出て、他のセージも見に行ってあげた。 I went out to the backyard right away to look for other Texas Sage flowers, too.
セージの葉が蝶々のように花にとまっているようだ。 The little leaves looked as if they were sitting on flowers. They even gave me the impression of butterflies sitting on flowers.
みんな嬉しそう。優しくなった季節を楽しんでいるようだ。 The weather is much friendlier and gentler now. Our Texas Sages seem to be fully enjoying the weather.
