Gardening and Tomato's

Evan was excited this morning to be able to go back to school, everyone had breakfast and got out the door. We left to take Evan to daycare at 8:15am and he went right in like a pro. Yasuko has to go to Koby's school in the morning time, and I came home and made coffee.

I will be out in the garden in a bit trying to get the last bit of weeds cleared so I can plant my corn. I worked in the garden until it was time to go get Evan and then Yasuko and I went to pick him up.

He had fell today when they went out for their walk and skinned up his knee, but the teacher said he didn't cry and that they were surprised. He is very clumsy but hopefully he will get more coordinated climbing, jumping, and playing.

We came home and Evan took a nap, I went to the garden and worked until Koby came home from school, Masani-san showed up and wanted to take us to his cousins house who grew mini tomato's for a living. We had a good time looking at all of the vegetables that he grew, and I was shocked to learn that he is 76 years old and takes care of 5 huge greenhouses of mini tomato's, personal garden and about 4 rice fields, totally amazing, I hope I can do that when I am that age.

We brought back a lot of tomato's and cucumbers that we were given as presents, the tomato's were totally organic and were as sweet as grapes. After we got back I worked in the garden more until the biting flies got too bad to withstand.

I will finish the weeding tomorrow, and will get the corn planted, I have to hurry because it is getting late for corn here. After a hot bath and dinner I went straight to bed, and so did everyone else.
