Takako's Huckberry (Enoki エノキ) news.....!!!

砂入さん
Hi, Hiroshi,

今日は悲しいお知らせとなってしまいました。
I have a sad news to share with you today.

4月頭に芽をだしたtree projectの木ですが、今日お家に帰ってきたら
「うーんもうだめ」となっていました。
My Tree Project seed sprouted at the beginning of this April, but I found it down on the ground when I came home today... he didn't seem to be well at all.

先週末に手に入れたおもちゃの電柱を植木鉢に
加えて、ほくほくしていたのに。。。
I was so excited, especially after getting a toy street lamp last weekend, having it join the tree in the pot. 
実は今日の夜か明日にでも砂入さんとお知らせしようと
思って今日の朝写真とったところだったのに。。。
I was going to report to you about my bitty tree tonight or tomorrow with a photograph from this morning..

毎日話しかけていたのがプレッシャーとなったのかもしれない。
Maybe it was too much pressure for the tree that I was talking to him every day.
(というのは、種を植えた後一週間くらい毎日じっくり気になって
見つめていた間は発芽しなかったのに、週末ボストンに旅行に行って
家にいなかったら発芽していた、という過去を踏んでいるから。)
(Well, because, it didn't sprout for a week or so while I was looking at it really closely every day... but it did happily during my weekend Boston trip, when I was absent.)
子育てみたいなものでしょうか。
Maybe it's like raising a kid.
手をかけすぎたらだめ、みたいな。
Maybe I shouldn't have paid too much attentions like that.

とっても残念で、今日はちょっと家に帰ってきて燃え尽きました。
I was so disappointed and couldn't do anything else when I came home tonight.
この衝撃から立ち直った頃に、もう一度チャンスがあればリトライさせて
いただきたいと思います。
I will recover from this unfortunate event, and would love to try again if you would give me another chance.

では、引き続き砂入さんのtree projectのメーリングリスト/ウェイトリストに
名前を連ねさせてくださいませ。。。
So, will you please leave my name on your mailing list/waiting list for the Tree Project for another while...?

ごめんなさい。
Sincerely sorry.

Takako Tanabe

Hiroshi I just send photos my greenhouse coach suggest me to gently place away the sprouts one from each other, so their roots do not get entangled I do so very gently, and they seem to like it very much is amazing, all the little leaves that are flourishing, also how these sprouts are so green bright at the sunlight  kind Alberto
