I walked in the morning before it began to rain.

  I wrote an email to Ilsemarie to thank her for sending me a calendar and a music disk of her chorus group performing.
  It was cloudy in the morning, and was likely to rain, so I started to walk in the morning earlier than usual. I walked westward as far as the gymnastic hall in Kawazoe riverside park. As I walked back home, I picked some edible wild plants such as honeworts (mitsuba) and butterburs. Then, it began to rain. The temperature is not warm enough, and the sunshin ratio is low, so I am afraid the crops will not grow.
