年末に来ていた娘達の家族は今日それぞれ家路に。お正月はそれぞれの嫁ぎ先で迎える。３泊４日の滞在はあっという間に終わりました。今年はやはり暖冬を実感。フェイスブックのプロフィール写真は昨年１２月８日に撮った男体山ですが、今年の１２月２８日に撮った男体山はまだ完全には白い帽子を被っていません。スキーもまだ出来ない状況のよう。アメリカニューイングランドに住む友人もクリスマスは半袖Tシャツで迎えたとのこと。
Our two daughters'families went back home after staying with us here for several days. It's their custom to spend New Year Days at their husbands'homes each. Now back to our normal life. We surely feel warm weather this winter by comparing the photo of Mt.Nantai I had taken early December last year with the one I took yesterday which has no white cap on. Not available for skiing yet. My friend living in New England in the States wrote me they had also unusual Christmas in T shirts.
