亀清旅館の看板動物、うちの中庭の亀さんが冬眠から起きてきました。池の側の庭に上って、甲羅干ししている姿を今年、初めて見ました。
亀さん、久しぶりです。
温かくなってきて、春はそろそろ来るとの事でしょうか?
Kamesei Ryokan's name roughly translates to "Holy Turtle". Hence, we consider the turtle living in the koi pond in our naka-niwa central garden our namesake animal. Today, I spotted him sunning himself on a rock next to the pond. This is the first time this year -- he's been in hibernation all winter.
Nice to see you again, Mr. Turtle.
With the temperatures starting to warm up, and now our turtle starting to make an appearance, it must mean that spring is just around the corner.
