English

#860 Douglas fir ~ It is a type of tree that grows in North America.~

Last month, my ex-host family came to Japan. Although I had not seen them for a long time, it was wonderful to meet them.

I started to study English again a few years ago.

Because of my busy work schedule, I stopped studying English at all for a long time. Then I started to study English again, about 3 years ago. It was just my hobby.

This time, since my host family came to Japan, I felt that it was nice that my English was not so bad. Because I’m still studying English, even though it is little by little.

Douglas fir in their yard

Before they came to Japan. I asked them to bring some douglas fir branches for me. Douglas fir is a type of tree that grows in North America. I like it and it smells good. They brought a packed bag of douglas fir branches with leaves on.

It reminds me of them and Seattle.

Almost a month passed since I met with them. I miss them very much, especially when I look at the douglas fir hanging on the wall in my house.
