Too Much

Seed the Soil

Seeds and cereals. The time of year when people start to seed the soil. Praying mantises hatch. Rotten grass become home to fireflies. The plums become more yellow. 🌱

The First Signs of Spring

Going-out of the insects. That time of year when the first bugs surface from their hibernation. Caterpillars start their transformation to butterflies. 🦋

Rain Waters

Rain waters. Snow melts away, mist lingers in the air, and grasses begin to sprout. Trees release their first buds as the ground fills with water. 🌧

Risshun

Start of spring. Fish appear in icy ponds and the bush warblers start singing in the mountains. 🐟

The Chill Deepens

Big cold. Temperatures drop low and the chill deepens. Ice thickens on the streams. Hens huddle together and begin laying eggs. 🐔

Little Cold

Little cold. Winter chills start as the temperature quickly drops. Pheasant calls can be heard in the forest 🌡
