I put with scoops of greentea, rum raisin and pumpkin ice cream between the bananas. Normally banana split has the chocolate syrup and some cherries on the top. But I didn't have them that's why I used frozen blueberry.

It was too much ice cream for me. But I had fun decorating and eating.

The families with girls display hina dolls and some festival sweets.

Because it is believed hina dolls protect girls from bad luck.

They pray for their daughter's growth and happiness.

I made Eho-maki and ate it for dinner.

I looked at the lucky direction of the year and I was thinking of my wish silently while eating.

I used a fresh salmon, a cucumber, an avocado and a simmered shiitake inside the Eho-maki.

I took the pictures in the morning.

I removed the snow after taking the pictures.

The snow melted until afternoon.

The number of flowers has increased their flowers.

I dug up the garden and then I shovelled the soil around my rose. I mixed new soil and fertilizer.

After that I found the buds of my hellebore. It blooms every February. We call Hellebore as "Christmas rose" but it doesn't actually bloom on Christmas. Only Hellebore niger blooms on Christmas. Here in Japan, we call all Hellebores as "Christmas rose".

I took this picture in the morning.

It's the buds of my Christmas rose.

It was snowy today.

I was surprised because the snow piled up around my house.

But the snow already changed to rain.

I tried to make a small snow man.

I was almost paralyzed with snow that's why I didn't finish making.

These are Pansy imperial apricot shade.

I waited for their flower for four months and half.

I took the pictures last Friday.

The snow was falling in the morning today.

The snow is covering my flowers in noon.

The temperature is negative zero every early morning.

But my seedings are growing and their flowers are getting bigger little by little.

I took this picture last week of December.

I took this picture today. They freeze every morning.

They look dead flowers.

But they get back in an upright position before noon.

They are the growing seedings.

I met my family and I ate traditional New Year's food.

My mother made me a lot of food but I couldn't finish eating them. I took them to my house as a souvenir.

I got new coffee maker from my sister.

I don't make me coffee yet but I'm looking forward to drinking a delicious coffee soon.

I already got good coffee beans.

And then I planted some tulip bulbs under my seedings.

I will observe my seedings as they grow and my work has become much easer.

I make sure I water them about once a week and I give them the fertilizer about once a month.

I took this picture last Friday.

These are Nijiiro sumire Noble.

I planted the blue tulip bulbs undernearth.

After ten days one more flower bloomed fully in this morning.

I took this picture last Friday. Two maple Nijiiro sumires have their own flowers.

I planted the tulip bulbs "Pink diamond" and "Black hero" under my seedings.

After ten days they looked the same.

I added another tulip bulbs"Ice cream".
