This year I was too lazy to celebrate Girls Festival. While thinking of cooking something suitable for this season, nothing was prepared on the day.

With two old friends we were planing to meet up on the day for lunch. It was for the first time in several years but we knew each other since we were teen agers. The long long lunch time was very relaxing and very happy.

One friend cooked cakes with salted Sakura flower. It was very good. Another one gave me Hina-Arare, which were rice crackers eaten at Girls Festival. Thanks for my old friends I felt the arrival of spring and celebrated girls day at home.


The sun is brightly shining this month. It is in March. The wind is still chilly but the change of season can be felted.
