Plum tree
The flowers of this tree are in full bloom now.
It looks as if it snowed over the tree.
I love this scenery very much.
Japanese quince
Congratulations to Japanese baseball team !

I loaned $25 to Mrs. Betsabeth who sells food and other merchandise at HUANCAYO in Peru last momth.
Today I received an e-mail from Kiva staff that says $4.17 had been repaid by her.
She borrowed $700 from 26 person and is planning to repay all the money in six months.

I wish her business also work well and the money repaid through Kiva !

I picked up some horsetails at the bank beside rice fields this afternoon.But I couldn't find so many, so my neighbor who was also picking it gave me some horsetails.
I was lucky !
To enjoy the taste of spring, I cooked them.

Cherry tree
It's cold a little these days, but I saw cherry blossoms in full bloom today.
This cherry tree bear fruits.
The pink tree tells us the coming of spring.
Spinach
My mother-in-law Shi-zu-sa-n had been growing various kinds of vegetables for many years, but she became too old to grow them.
So my husband decided to do that and he had bought some kinds of vegetable seeds and scattered them in the field the other day.
He planted potatoes cut into some pieces too.
He is very enthusiastic now.
Onion
Do you know what this is ?
The brown things in the rice field are compost that is made of dried rice plant straw and cow's excrement.
This compost will be mixed with the soil to grow good rice plant.
It is better than commercial fertilizer for our health as well as good recycling.
Pussy willow
I hear cherry blossoms will bloom at the end of this month, a little earlier than usual.
Taking a walk, I saw pussy willow that is another sign of spring.
The weather these days aren't stable and the temperature is also not stable.
It has been raining since yesterday, but it'll be fine this afternoon.
This change is typical in this season.
