This is a kotatsu. It has a metal grate on the underside of the table which heats up when plugged in. Add a blanket tucked in under the top surface of the table and you’ve got yourself a cozy place to sit. When the blanket is put away, you know the warm weather is on its way.
signs of spring: April Showers
signs of spring: ‘dills and squills
signs of spring: a boy and his dog
The theme this week is Signs of Spring.
This is the neighbor kid on one side playing with the dog that lives on the other side. He doesn’t have his own dog, but he plays with this one all the time when the weather’s nice. They’d been at it for quite a while when I snapped them taking a much-needed rest before they were off and running again.
