A cute customer sits on the bus stop window. He is a handmade snowman wearing a red hat, gloves, and a matching scarf.
With the cold snowy scenery behind them, the sight of them gently nestling next to the dignified flowers brings a smile to your face.
When I suddenly looked towards the window on the other side, I saw red berries resembling nandina, carefully folded out of origami, and passionate crimson cyclamen.
The original flowers, which exude the warmth of handmade craftsmanship, sparkle in the winter light.
"I hope this will warm the hearts of those waiting for the bus in the bitter cold," one can almost hear the gentle and pure "prayer" of the townspeople.
We have passed the beginning of spring, and it is already the beginning of spring according to the calendar. I hope that this new year will bring you bright and wonderful days.
The kind consideration and warm sincerity of the townspeople who provided such wonderful objects can be felt, and this healing space gently soothes the soul, filled with boundless love, gratitude, and prayers...
