Hi, It is getting colder here. We had our first frost this week and I am wearing sweaters sometimes. Winter is a good time here because we have little rain and there is no grass to cut!! The autumn leaves are looking good. The Icho or Ginko trees have beautiful yellow leaves, shaped like small fans. I [...] Read more…
Hi, It is very warm here and the government has asked us all to conserve electricity. We are to turn our air conditioners to 84 degrees. When the humidity is in the 90% area, it is hard to turn it up that high. It may rain today, so that will help some. I heard it was [...] Read more…
Hi, I just wanted to write to let you know we are still living. I have been very busy with all kinds of things. The earthquake and tsunami hit, then Uemori-san died. The church was giving the responsibility of the funeral. After that I have been going to the North to [...] Read more…

About 10 swans have come to the pond next to our house. They come and go whenever they please. [...] Read more…

December 6, 2010 Hi, It is getting winter, but not fast. It got cold all of a sudden, then became warm again. Today was in the low 70’s, but it is supposed to freeze tomorrow night.
