Our kitchen garden.

                                                     This morning, I made a little "field" at a corner of our garden to grow vegetables. Ayako had been thinking of what kinds of vegetables to grow there. And she bought six seedlings of tomatoes, and eight of eggplants. A week before, she had sowed the seeds of spinach, red beets, and komatsuna. She is thinking of growing a kind of snow peas which have pretty flowers of purple color.
  Maria sent me an email from Monte video, Urguay. She tells me about a book she is now reading. She wants me to tell about my family.
