こなつが玄関から外の様子を窺っている。
Konatsu is peering out the front door.
ママが庭に居るのでこなつも庭に行きたいみたいだ。
My wife is in the garden and Konatsu seems to want to go to the garden.
ママは庭のゼニ苔を取っているのです。
My wife is getting rid of liverwort in our yard.
真ん中のがゼニ苔。これを放っておくと大量に増えて、景観が悪くなるしナメクジなどが繁殖しやすくなるので早めに取ってしまわないといけないらしい。
The one in the middle is liverwort. If left unchecked, these will grow in large numbers and need to be removed because they will look bad and will make it easier for slugs and other insects to proliferate.
こっちはスギゴケ。
This one is hair moss.
スギゴケは庭をきれいに見せてくれるから増殖しても問題なし。むしろ歓迎。
Hair moss makes the garden look beautiful, so there is no problem with its proliferation. In fact, they are welcome.
私もたまに草むしりを手伝うのだが、長時間しゃがんでいると足や腰が痛くなるのが辛い。ほどほどにしないとね､､､。とは言え庭がこの状態を保てているのはママのおかげだ。
I sometimes help with the weeding, but it’s hard on my legs and back when I squat for long periods of time. I have to do it in moderation. However, it is thanks to my wife that the garden is kept in this condition.
ここならこなつもノーリードで好きなように歩き回れるから気分が良いのだろう。庭を何周も回っていた。
Konatsu must feel good here because she can roam around as she likes without a leash. She circled the yard many times.
