4月18日(shigatsu jyuhachi nichi): April 18

Last week I saw very small buds or new leaves on a ginkgo tree. Today I saw many new leaves on other trees too. They are still very small leaves as one each, but if you look at a tree, it looks green. There are many trees, so they look light green.
In winter there were only trunks and looked brown. In summer leaves become bigger and the color becomes darker. In autumn they become yellow.

When I saw the young leaves today, I thought of donation movement now we are trying. Even if each person's donation is small, in total they become big amount.
Here is a saying, chirimo tsumoreba yamato naru (ちりも積もれば山となる), which means "Many a little makes a mickle" or "Little and often fills the purse" or "Every little helps."
