I worked on our field in Furusato Noen in the morning.

The weather forecast said it would rain, but it didn't at least in the daytime. In the morning, I worked on our field in Furusato Noen. First I planted out seedlings of pumpkins, and tomatos and then mounded soil on the lists of potatoes.  

After returning, I weeded the garden. Flowers are so beautiful, especially verious colors of azaleas. Black lilies are pretty,though they are not so noticeable in our garden. The buds of Japanese tree peonies

are swelling, and I look forward to them blooming.

Emiliano, a sculptor in Barcelona Spain, sent me an email for my birthday. I met him in Nayoro three year ago, when his team participated in the international snow sculpting competition, and won the first prize. He was an art teacher in Barcelona and when he came to Nayoro, he was with his beautiful daughter. I want to see him again next winter.   

Tomorrow, June 14th will be my 75th birthday.
