Monday Morning Star Count

I'm very pleased with the progress on my handquilting. I plan to continue with at least one or two lengths of thread each day. It's hard to stop at one length of thread.

Shizuoka City Sengen Shrine

The weather has been nice this fall. It’s good to get out and not waste the beautiful weather. I took the train to Shizuoka Station, then walked to Sengen Shrine. I had been there before, but not recently.



The sign below seems to be some kind of help wanted sign for the busy New Year season.



It’s a large complex and there is some work being done on some of the structures, but different ones from the last time I was here. It takes a long time and can’t all be done at once.







The colorful sign above is about the 7-5-3 Children’s Day.  I saw several small children in colorful kimono costumes, but thought it would be rude to take pictures, but I wanted to!













This gorgeous building is only open one day a year.  The next time is January 8, 2025.










I’ll end with this photo of Fuji-san, taken from near the Aeon shopping center. A gorgeous finish to a great day out.
