In Furusato Noen, I worked whole morning.

  It was a beautiful day. I went alone to our field in Furusato Noen, and worked whole morning. I gathered the cornstalks and cut them into pieces with scissors, dug deep gutters and put the chips of cornstalks into the gutters and buried them. It was  hard work and it will take another day to finish it. I returned just before noon. In the afternoon, I went with Ayako and walked along the Komore-bi-no michi, my everyday walking path to see a drop-in shopping stores opened only today. There were food stalls, haberdashery shops, etc.
  Professional baseball - what happened to the Nipponham Fighters?  They were defeated by the Olix Blue Buffaloes by 0-2 today. It was 7th consecutive defeats though they are still in the second place in the Pacific League. On the other hand, the Consadole Sapporo, pro-soccer from Hokkaido, is in the 2nd place in Division II, and it is hoped to go on to the Division I or the top division in Japanese soccer league next season.
