It was fine, but I stayed at home all day.

  It was a very fine day, but I stayed at home all day. The pain in my waste was not so bad, but, I thought the officials of our heighborhood association would work to clean up after the Obon dance festival which had been cancelled because of heavy rain. I felt sorry for not being able to work for the preparations because of my waste pain.
  Ayako went to Furusato Noen for me., and picked some tomatoes, potatoes, a pumpkin, and cucumbers. The cucumbers had grown so huge. There were only a few tomatoes,but they were ripe, and looked delicious. The size of the pumpkin was about four inches in diameter. I felt happy to see them.
