Thank you for your kind words. I wish I had more places to walk around. I hope I 'll find a nice lake or stream. I miss water.

@@expatkaz742 I hope you find a lake or stream too, and when you do, you could post that as well. Also, do you have any hobbies, like playing any instruments or are there any more films that you haven't reviewed yet?

@@vampyreberry As far as films are concerned, I would like to rewatch the films of 1950's and 1960's that I enjoyed in my youth. But when I try to decide which one I watch, I hesitate. I think I became too old to decide anything, worrying about the disappointments and even not enjoying as much anymore. It is strange my tastes changed and I can't enjoy the today's movie much. But anytime I saw good movies, I felt young again. That's why it is so important you enjoy things whenever you can. Movies, music, books are great entertaining values for me especially I get older.

Short story is often like that. Reader's own interpretation is more important, I guess.

Vegetable gardens all depend on weather, pests and people tending for them. I would like to try synecological gardening, but that would be disaster.

Thanks always. Yes, this became my favorite neighborhood vacant area to walk and shoot videos due to the nature where nobody visits. I almost gave up to look for the established trails here. Only place I can go is the lots like this where people left underdeveloped for sometime. There are plenty of them here.

Thank you for sharing. I love 'comment te dire adieu' which I missed when I was still in Japan. I am now trying to find her best song albums that include her later hits. Since I have been so removed, it is a challenge. Maybe I should settle with her latest one?

@expatkaz742 her last album was Nobody Else (Personne D'Autre), which came out in 2018. I believe there may be some compilation albums of her later work as well. But I am not really familiar with her work after the 80s.

"Tous les garcon et les filles" has been the first I knew but always stayed in my heart. It has melancholy lyrics that she devised. I understand there are many other songs that I don't know. I would like to know more recent songs that I missed.

@@expatkaz742Thank you very much for the recommendation. I'll listen to it. I appreciate your videos.

Yea, if you grew up with her songs, it would bring back all the memories associated with it.

Thank you for your kind words. I, during June, frantically seeded Pumpkins, Mellons, Peas, Eggplants and other late seeding varieties just to show flea beetles that I am invincible. They germinated well and I am again very happy.

Nice observation! Yes, Colorado has more blue skies as well as distant views of mountains that make you feel in the wider space.

For me, it is interesting that I have to change my attitude in life according to locality where the fauna are adjusting themself as well.

Yes, they are great tailed grackles which are very loud and sometimes they chase after me when I walk under the canopy of a tree.

@@expatkaz742 You are really knowledgeable about the environment around you! Thank you for sharing the name of those birds. I read that they are so loud, some people consider them as pest. It's too bad but I can understand that. As for chasing after you, they want to protect their environment I guess. If only they understood that you also like trees and are planting more!

@@TheNetBenji Thank you for being interested. They are indeed magnificent birds, indigenous to this area. They have very handsome face with golden eyes. They are bold but I would never consider as pests. Other occasional visitors are Blue Jay and Kingbird. My bird watching hobby is coming back.

Also flea beetles love the broccoli leaves. I think that's life for any creatures on earth. I am trying to find a way to diverse the plant species to invite beneficial insects as well. Yes, gardening is like a life which is tough and joyful.

I am wondering what Hamaguchi has been up to since "drive ...".

@@expatkaz742 as i take it he did direct a new film, "evil does not exist" though i havent seen either of them yet.

@@jitterjay27Thank you for this info. I watched his interview at Lincoln center and also watched Mark Kermode's review of this new film. It sounded very atmospheric and beautiful. Hamaguchi's idea seems to be very interesting as well. I can hardly wait to see it.

Thank you always. I am carried away.

Yes, when I was a kid, my sisters were planting flowers. I learned how easily and cheaply I can do that. Japanese have certain kinds of tastes like cherry blossoms and maples. I get most comforts in those. Then, I became very interested in beautiful English gardens and creating it myself. But, come to think of it, it all came to my liking of certain kinds of perennials that come back year after year without much care. Thank you. Let's do gardening.

Yes, I really feel this is Texas, America. Also the weather is wild. People look all like cowboys but really nice when I talk to.

I already hinted with my last Colorado videos that there were economical reasons. Living costs were reasons more than anything else. I would not move from Colorado if I were blessed with some fortunes. I loved the outdoor lives in Colorado so much. Secondly, I felt I should move to some warmer places due to stresses I was having in the winter of Colorado. I understood why senior people move to the warmer places like Florida or Arizona. Lastly but not the least, I felt some changes in my life will bring the excitements in life. I needed some spices in my later years when I get less active. Thank you for asking always.

Thank you. Yes it is warmer here therefore more wildlives, I hope.

Wow, I conveyed my excitements.

I am! I am in moving process. Thanks, friend.

I miss Him so much!!! He and Eydie Gorme together made a home, music, and Children... I miss them all!! Eternal Rest, Everlasting Memory! God Bless You! You are singing my favorite songs!!! - Adrienne

Son, start with Newton. Then go to Quantum.

Yes, the beauty of this film is speaking to us today. I think the new wave director tried so much to express her art and feelings at that time and succeeded. I want to see her other films as well.

I have heart problems so since I started to feel worse, I got rid of many things and now I have only basics + some few extra objects, very small, I can always take with me. I can pack my personal stuff in one suitcase...large one for now :)

I read the book from the library. Then, I liked it so much that I had to buy a new copy for myself in later years. The movie is the same. The movie I really enjoyed is the one I have to get it in DVD form after having watched it. I think the nature of this guaranteed future happiness is so strong that just buying the copy made me happy.

You sounded exactly like me. I am a latecomer as a book lover. It was an eye opening experience when I found the joy of reading at the age of 60. I felt I was a teenager again at that age. God Bless Literature!

Yes, all things considered, the snow is lovely.
