The Cicadas Are Gone, the Cosmos Are Here

Today’s story きょうの あらすじ

When I came home from Thailand I could still hear the cicadas faintly, but now their voices have gone completely. The morning air is cool, and it makes for a very pleasant walking time. That sunlight that used to be so hot and so damp is nowhere to be found any more. By the roadside, cosmos, the flower of autumn, was in bloom. From here on the season will grow easier and easier to live in. Autumn for sport, autumn for reading, and autumn for a good appetite. Time passes in the blink of an eye, so rather than waste it I mean to move my body, read books, and enjoy plenty of delicious things.
