Free Food

Back to the normal school routine, Evan had breakfast when I got up at 9:00am, Brooks-san brought over some home made Miso this morning that her mom had made. Thanks a lot, I know it will be great. At 3:00 pm after school Koby and I have a Japanese lesson at Endo-sensei's house.

I worked on the computer a bit and then had something to eat, I need to move my corn plants from there little pots to the school grounds today, it has been 5 days since I prepared the ground, so more gardening today, I also need to prepare the ground for the carrots and radishes. Before lunch I got the corn plants in the ground and also spread out and mixed in the worm dirt in preparation for planting the carrots, so Saturday should be the planting day for them.

After lunch I worked on the Internet a while until Yasuko asked if I wanted to go collect some more mountain vegetables for tonight's dinner, sure, we asked Maskawa-san if she wanted to go also, since she was off of work today, she agreed. We managed to find a lot and split it with Maskawa-san, we stayed longer in the woods than we had planned to and had to rush to get to our Japanese lesson on time, Maskawa-san was also rushing to get 2 of her kids to a dentist appointment.

Japanese lesson went well, and when we got back I worked in the garden until dark, I got all of the garden near the house weeded, and also prepared the ground where I will be planting the Japanese radish (daikon). I was tired when I came in, but Yasuko had already planned to eat dinner together with Maskawa-san family, so the food we had prepared we just took it over next door and we all ate and talked while the kids played, It was a fun time.

We walked the 9 steps home and the kids changed into their pajamas and brushed their teeth and got in to bed, at 9:45 pm. Yasuko's mom called and they talked a while, while I worked on the Internet a bit.
