国宝松本城氷彫フェスティバル2019
日の出前から我猫ジローの主人達は今回で33回目となる国宝松本城氷彫フェスティバルを見に行った。昨日は大雪注意報が出たほどに天候は荒れていたが本朝は晴れ渡り氷彫が青空に映えた。国宝松本城と氷彫の写真を撮りながら、主人は昨日１月26日が文化財防火デー（1955年制定）であることを思い出し、いつまでも松本城が守られていくことを願った。
Matumoto Castle Ice Sculpture Festival 2019
Before the sunrise, Nekojiro’s masters went to watch Matumoto Castle Ice Sculpture Festival, which becomes the 33rd at this time. The weather was very bad yesterday, and a heavy snow warning was given. Today, it is fine, so the ice sculptures shine in a blue sky. The master remembers that January 26, yesterday, was the cultural assets fire prevention day (1955 establishment) while taking photographs. He hopes that Matumoto Castle will be protected forever.

寒中の輝き
天気図を見ていた主人が明日は冬型の気圧配置だから霧氷になるかもしれないなと言うと、奥さんは三才山峠―主人の通勤途中の峠―で霧氷が見られるのは年に1度か2度だからどうかなと言った．
主人は峠で今日常夏の国で誕生日を迎える娘に“寒中の輝き”を送ろうとシャッターを押した．
Brightness during the cold season –hoarfrost-
Watching a weather chart at the dinner, my master said that it would be a wintry pressure pattern tomorrow, so he would see the hoarfrost at the Misayama Pass (when he goes for work, he goes along this pass). His wife said that the hoarfrost was seen once or twice a year. So she doubted that the tomorrow was that day or not.
My master pushed the shutter at the Misayama pass. He would send photographs of these sceneries to his daughter. Today is the day of the birthday of their daughter who is living in a country of the everlasting summer now.

小梅開花
正月前に我猫ジローの主人は梅の剪定をした。“桜切る馬鹿、梅切らぬ馬鹿”と言われる通りに多くの枝を切り落とした。奥さんが数本花瓶に挿しておいた。明後日は成人の日。梅もそれを祝うように開花したのだろう。
Flowering of the “koume (a kind of Japanese plum plant)”
My master pruned the plum before the New Year holidays. It is said in Japan that "a fool who does cut a cherry tree, a fool who does not cut a plum tree". So, he cut off many branches. His wife put several branches in a vase. The day after tomorrow is the coming-of-age ceremony. The plum would flower to celebrate it.

寒波
今年一番の寒波が来るという。マイナス15度以下になると北アルプスの山々のモルゲンロートは一層赤みを増す。猫ジローの主人達は朝5時には車を走らせていた。朝焼けが始まる7時前に乗鞍岳の麓に三脚を立てた。外気温はマイナス11度。乗鞍は優しいモルゲンロートに染まった。にわかに雲が湧き山頂を隠した。主人達は天気がよければ滝まで散策する予定であったが早々帰路についた。午後は“ボヘミアン ラプソディ”を見に行った。映画館で買ってきたサウンドトラック（CD）を繰り返し聞いて余韻に浸っている。
Cold wave
It was said that the first cold wave of this year would come tomorrow. “Morghenrot (Alpenglow) ” of the mountains of the Northern Alps turns red more if it becomes less than -15 degrees. My masters ran their car at 5:00a.m. They set tripods in the foot of Mt.Norikuradake before 7:00 when the morning glow began. The outside temperature was -11 degrees. Mt.Norikuradake was stained with pale “Morghenrot (Alpenglow) ”. Clouds appeared suddenly and covered the mountaintops.
They went to the movie theater and watched “Bohemian Rhapsody”. They heard a sound track (CD) that they had bought in the movie theater repeatedly and were still basking in the afterglow of “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
