Caution

We are continuously taking precautionary measures against the Pandemic.

The news program broadcasts about COVID-19 during the entire day

The situation will be uncertain , so our nerves are tense because of the fear and stress

However,

if you are “sick and tired” of the inside of a house ,

it’s much better than you get “sick”.

In each precaution can avoid the virus infection

Please be careful

ニューヨークで起きていることを見て 日本の方々もどうぞ警戒することをやめないでね

貼り付けた以下の ↓ YOUTUBEは英語になりますが話している内容はわかりやすく  どのようにコロナヴァイルスが肺に作用するのか とてもよくわかります

NYPL limited-edition Library card

The New York Public Library-NYPL- celebrates 125 Years!

I got this “Limited-edition Library card” that is a charming illustration printed on the face featuring “The Snowy Day” by Ezra Jack Keats

The Snowy Day is the most borrowed book since 1895 when NYPL was founded

In addition it was a winner of the Caldecott Medal which was awarded as the most distinguished American picture book 

This is my own regular library card

And

the NYPL is one of my favorites place in NY

Presidents’ Day

Today is Presidents’ day and also known as Washington’s Birthday

We saw a huge flag hanging on the George Washington Bridge which is a famous and beautiful landmark between New York and New Jersey across the Hudson river

And this American flag is the world’s largest free-flying flag that appears on a few federal holiday

This pic is a romantic time at dusk which I took before

You can also walk on the sidewalk on the bridge if you are not afraid of heights

こんな大きな旗 見たのは初めてで

これが飾られる数少ないアメリカの祝日でも この旗の大きさや200キロというその重さを設置するにあたり ”天候や風の強さなど一定条件がそろわないと飾られない”とのことで見れてラッキーな日でした
