We go to the same river every year with a few families. The kids are about the same age, and we all get along very well. 😊 There are 17 people and two dogs. 🐶 We went there yesterday, and after we came back from the river, we decided to have a Potsticker Party. 🥟 We baked 60 potstickers, and they were so delicious!! Anyway, I wanted to post this because I want to know the right word. In Japanese, there are individual names for dumplings: Gyoza Shumai Shorompou And I thought in English, everything was called a dumpling. But I came across the word "potsticker" on the instagram again. So, which word do you usually use: dumpling or potsticker?

The 24 Solar Terms are part of traditional Chinese calendar .They were created by ancient Chinese farmers to guide farming, reflect seasonal changes and record the rhythm of nature. 1️⃣立春Start of Spring :marks the beginning of spring. Everything revives and farm‑work gets ready to start. 2️⃣雨水 Rain Water : means ice and snow melt. Rainfall increases to nourish the soil for new plants. 3️⃣惊蛰Awakening of Insects: Spring thunder wakes hibernating insects underground. The earth warms up and all creatures wake to life. 4️⃣春分Spring Equinox: Day and night are of equal length. Spring reaches its mid‑point and temperatures keep rising. 5️⃣清明Clear and Bright: The weather turns fresh and bright, with lush growing plants. It is both a solar term and a traditional festival for tomb‑sweeping and spring outings. 6️⃣谷雨Grain Rain, the last term of spring. Abundant rain helps grain seedlings grow well. 7️⃣立夏Start of Summer ：announces the arrival of summer. All living things grow vigorously. 8️⃣小满Grain Buds: Grains swell but are not fully ripe. River water begins to rise. 9️⃣芒种Grain in Ear: Wheat crops with awns ripen for harvest, while autumn crops need to be sown. It is the busiest farming time. 🔟夏至Summer Solstice ；has the longest daytime in the Northern Hemisphere. Heat builds up and days become shorter afterwards. 1️⃣1️⃣小暑Minor Heat: Hot weather arrives, yet it is not the hottest time of the year. 1️⃣2️⃣大暑Major Heat ：brings the year’s highest temperatures, together with high humidity and heavy rainfall. 1️⃣3️⃣立秋Start of Autumn ：is the start of autumn.

Temperatures gradually turn cooler. 1️⃣5️⃣白露White Dew: Big temperature differences between day and night. Dew forms at night, and autumn is truly felt. 1️⃣6️⃣秋分Autumn Equinox: Day and night are equal again. Autumn passes its halfway point. It is harvest season for farmers. 1️⃣7️⃣寒露Cold Dew: Dew becomes chilly. Temperatures drop noticeably and warmer clothes are needed.

Thanks to a client of mine who used to run ultramarathons, I took part in an ultramarathon a month ago. The race was 300 kilometers over four days, including mountain trails. At 2 a.m. on the third day, I was running through the mountains, almost passing out from exhaustion. I thought, “I could die if it meant I could sleep.” At that very moment, there was suddenly a blinding flash of light, and I could vaguely see the figure of a woman. Then I heard her voice. “Hi, Taisei. I’ll tell you something good. If you dig under the pine tree in your garden, you’ll find a huge fortune. But you need to quit this race right now and go straight home. A flood will come in two days and wash everything away.” Then she disappeared. I wondered if I should follow her advice, but I decided to keep running. Still, I called my wife and told her what had happened. I also called the local government office and warned them about the flood. When I got home four days later, my neighborhood was safe, although there was some mud and debris. The local authorities seemed to have done a good job preventing serious damage from the flood. The fortune under the pine tree turned out to be shares in a company that had recently gone public in the U.S. They were worth about $10 million. I thought the stock would keep going up, so I didn’t sell it all. I became a hero who had saved my neighborhood, and I was rich as well. Still, I was a little worried because I hadn’t followed the woman’s instructions. But I thought she must be very busy. If she had to take care of people all over the world, she probably didn’t have much time to bother with me. So I went back to my peaceful life. Then, the other day, one of my staff members said, “Boss, the National Tax Agency is calling you.” I thought it was strange. A call from a local tax office would make sense, but directly from the National Tax Agency? Still wondering about that, I picked up the phone. “Hello, Mr. Koshida. We received information from someone who says she gave you assets worth $10 million. You haven’t filed a gift tax return, have you?”
