In Japan, there is a public holiday called ‘Mountain Day’ (11 August). However, for my family, Mountain Day is today, 19 August.
So, we went for a walk in the mountains. That said, it was just a leisurely walk that took about an hour there and back from home.
Although the heat seems to have eased a little now that the day of visiting graves has passed, it was actually a bit chilly being surrounded by the trees on the mountain.
I found the trees very soothing, so I’d like to share a little of that with you all.
日本には、山の日という国民の休日（8/11）があります。しかし、わが家族にとって山の日は今日の8/19です。
ですので、山に登ってきました。といっても家から往復で1時間くらいをゆっくり登ってきただけです。
暑さもお彼岸を過ぎ、少しマシになってきているように、山の木々に囲まれると、肌寒いくらいでした。
木々に癒されてきたので、皆様にも少しお裾分け。
