January Corner View--Yellow Plum Blossoms




O-bai Jam
(Yellow Plum Jam)

She welcomes the
flower who
welcomes the
spring
simmering
1 kilo of yellow
blessing 500 g sugar
50% of the petals
wait.
ah, yes. There
Is the
Fruit.

恵 500 グラム 糖
50パーセント 花片

Oh beautiful! Even though I can't read Japanese, I love the way the poem looks, especially when you have told us what it means! Did you write it yourself?

Mezzamy, thanks and thanks for your Q--
I wrote the English words (in response to words that my friend said about the plum flowers) and my friend wrote the Chinese Characters! It was a collaboration we wrote together while enjoying the view!
Woolf, yes, please have some!!♡
to Janis, the plum blossoms are one of the first signs of spring, Yes! Though it is not quite spring yet, we can feel it in the air...
Hi my friend Ibb, me too:)) Hi and thanks for stopping by Dorte, and Happy Cross Stiching Ninja, and Happy Breakfast to all!!

hey! I understood your first comment straight away. happy ric/sing :)

Hi NInja,
Thanks,
I should be more confident and not underestimate the
"understanding" power of the Ninja.
Don't know why I still have the feeling I have to explain everything. THis is my new January resolution, inspired by you,---I will attempt to not explain myself so much!!! just to take a chance and if it doesn't get understood, heck with it!!
(here I go explaining after all!!) Hapve a great day/night!
