Fresh From the Garden

Koby and Yasuko were up at school time while Evan and I got up at 8:00 am, Evan set down to a breakfast of cereal and kids shows, while I typed up the Shibinai diary for the day and drank a cup of coffee. I need to go out and raise the plastic on one side of both mini green houses so the plants can get some air. I think I will start some more corn plants today, I have so much space in my school garden plot I am still undecided what else to put there except a lot of corn, In the picture you can see some asparagus fresh out of my garden.

The weather is overcast now, but is supposed to be in the low 60's, the school kids were out in the garden plot today so I walked outside to see what they were planting. Today was just flowers called "Basalm", I never heard of them before, tomorrow is supposed to be vegetable planting day if the weather is ok. Later on in the day after Yasuko came home and we went into town and I got a much needed haircut, we had a couple of hours before Japanese class so we decided to go to Bestom because Yasuko wanted an electric hotplate that we can sit on the table and cook things in front of us.

The weather took a turn for the worse and the rain just pored down, we rushed to get back in time for Japanese class only to find a message from our teacher saying she would not be able to make it because of being sick with a fever. I called a local International Kindergarten instead that was looking for an English Teacher to see if they needed any help and have to go in for an interview tomorrow at 11:00 am

I quickly got a resume together and saved it to a small flash drive that Fujita-san had let me use, we dropped it off at their house and asked if they could print it out for us, she said no problem she would get her husband to do it and bring it over tomorrow. Dinner was Okonomiyaki, which is the Japanese pancake style food made with cabbage, sliced pork, egg, fish cake, with a sauce on top and bonito (tuna) flakes sprinkled on top. It was great and the new hot plate worked fine.
