In the morning, I walked as far as Kawazoe and walked around the gymnasium there. On the way back , I saw the thermometer in the median strip standing at 27 degrees.
I sent a message on the facebook to Mr.Motoi Morita to celebrate his 42th birthday. Mr.Morita is my old student in Tomakomai Higashi High School, and now is running a vegetable farm at Sin Shinotsu near Iwamizawa. I also posted a message to another old friend of mine Mrs.Kazue Kuwataka living in Tokyo. Mrs.Kuwataka had a baby in May, and I saw a photo of the cute little boy growing well. I was happy to find her baby very lovely.

It was a beautiful "summer" day today.
The highest temperature was 25 degrees, which was the highest this summer here in Tomakomai. I stood at the crossing as on usual Tuesdays as a school guard. The sun was shining brightly, and the school children looked happy. I wished these summer days would last many days here in this north land. On the contrary, in the central Japan, especially in around Tokyo, the temperature was over 35 degrees, and many people suffered heat stroke. People may wish this hot summer will end soon.
I stayed at home all day today, too.

It was a national holiday "the Marine Day".
I felt dull when I woke up in the bed. I was very tired. I had thought of going to Sapporo to see a high school baseball game between Tomaomai Higash and Hoaido Sakae, but I gave up going.
In the morning, I went to Furusato Noen with Ayako. We picked a crooked cucumber, and turned furrows to prepare for sowing the seeds of autumn daikon radish. After returning, I satyed all afternoon and evening.

It was fine, but I took a good rest at home to relieve my fatigue from hard work in gardening
I finished trimming the trees in the garden yesterday, so today, I stayed at home to take a good rest from hard work these days. I am really tired.
In the afternoon, I went to the office of Tomakomai Cable TV in Nisshin cho, and attended the class to learn how to enjoy facebook. But the student was only me. The instructor was Mr.Sakuraba, who was a graduate of Tomakomai Higashi High School. I wanted to ask something about how to operate facebook, but I only have to ask one, or two questions.

The floods in Kyushu are terrible.
The weather here was fine today, but in Kyushu, many rivers were flooded and not only the rice fields, but the residential areas are under water. How long will this rainy season continue?
My garden is now completely cleaned. I have trimmed all the trees. At the eastern corner, tiny red flowers of peas are coming out. The yellow flowers of pumpkins are blooming, but they are only female flowers, so Mrs Azumi living across the road and Mrs.Moriya next door came to give me a male flower to fertilize. Thank you.

July 13, Friday, I finished trimming the trees in my garden.
I forgot to post my diary yesterday. The media continue to report about the heavy rain in Kyushu which has caused a great damage. I seems to be raining heavily there.
On the contrary, it was fine here in Hokkaido. I worked on my garden, trimming the trees, and I have almost finished. I cut down one of the yew trees. I also trimmed the azalea trees.

It was rainy all day. Takashi called us on Skype.
It was raining all day today. In the morning, I went to my field in Furusato Noen in the rain. I picked the first three cucumbers for this season.
In Kyushu, heavy rainfall continued, and the media report more than 20 people have died or have been missing by floods and landslides so far, and the heavy rain will will continue. I hope the rain will stop soon.
In the afternoon, Takashi and Sachiyo called us on Skype. Takashi said he he had not been well since he returned from Shanghai. He has a slight fever, and was diagnosed of mild pneumonia. He looked thinner than before. We feel worried.
Haruna sent us a newspaper article on the Net reporting our grandson Kazuma was qualified to participate as a representative of Gifu archers in the national athletic meet to be held this autumn. Kazuma has won the championships of Hokkaido, Osaka, Nara, and Gifu so far.
