Spring is in full swing.
2024-04-14
The cherry blossoms on the path up to the fields of Ohira will soothe you.
A tea plantation weeded by volunteers.
The sprouts are beautiful and delicious.
Wheat has also come into fruition.
I'm looking forward to cutting the wheat.
I sowed peanut seeds. I am cutting straw to keep out crows.
Even though I had sown straw, what the crows are adding to their beaks after sowing is the seeds I sowed.

How are you all doing? How are you spending the spring season? I love the sun, and I'm enjoying the delicious air from the sun and the clear blue sky, and I'm doing well today. When I go to the field, I am greeted by earthworms that I hate, but I forget about them when I am working.
. It's getting warmer all of a sudden, and crops are competing to grow. I'm really looking forward to harvesting onions, fava beans, and wheat. Tea picking is scheduled to start at 4:27 on Saturday, April 9th. The plan was to do it on April 00th (Saturday), but I decided to delay it by a week to see how the tea leaves were growing. Please let your friends know. I would like many people to participate. It's more of a hurried task than enjoying tea picking, but there are many hands waiting. Well then, goodbye until the next blog.

It's small but useful.

it is complete. ``Kankoro mochi from de Roz-sama's field'' is made with Kankoro mochi made from sweet potatoes from de Roz-sama's field. Please read the steps required to make Kankoro mochi. It's the same as old manual work. Although it is a time-consuming process, nothing can replace the joy of holding a mochi in your hands. Please be sure to purchase one when you visit the rescue center. Hiyo Iso is currently looking for a wife. She stumbles into the ``nursing center'' (a corner of the rescue center) and desperately tries to escape. Customers during the tour will also be cheering you on, saying, "Here, here." Also, in the sky, Nabezuru from Kagoshima (Izumi) heads towards Siberia. "You're welcome."
Right now, I'm enjoying all kinds of nature.

Just when I thought the cold had subsided, it continued to rain. I am very grateful for the Mugito volunteer work yesterday.
It was my second Mugito. I believe that you stepped on this tree with a prayer that it would take firm root and bear fruit in abundance.
Although there is no major work to be done this season, small activities like these are being carried out from time to time.
Working in the open fields has been suspended for a while, but when I'm out in nature, I can feel faint signs of spring. Happy. Until next time, see you soon.

.I had a lot of winter under my feet.

Fukinoto, spring is almost here.
Wow, it smells nice.
Yuko mandarin oranges are often seen in the Sotome region.
Yuuko pepper is very popular.
I want to get better quickly.
Orange mandarin oranges, I don't often eat them normally.
The orange tangerine peel and the bitterness of the orange are addictive.
Natural plants faithfully wait their turn in the cold. Nature teaches us how to overcome the cold. These are my friends who make me feel relieved.
I made a slightly sweet peel for the cold season using ``Yuko'' and ``Daidai'', which are pleasing to the eye with their beautiful colors. Pinch a peel while enjoying the aroma of black tea. What a luxurious time. Yuuko pepper is also an indispensable seasoning for sashimi and seasonal hot pot dishes.
Please stay warm in the cold for a little while longer.
Heavy snow warning yesterday and today in Nagasaki

Snow only falls for one or two days a year.
I slowly walk to work.
Will it get bigger when it gets warmer? .
I decided to go to a field in the mountains.
The place I went to was Mugitomi. I was sweating profusely in the snow.
The warbler appeared again on the commuter road two years ago.
It's the end of January, but I wish you a happy new year. Thank you for your continued support of the ``Old Shitsu Rescue Center'' blog this year.
Warm winter? As the temperature suddenly drops by 10 degrees, farmers have two thoughts: happiness (if it wasn't this cold...) and worry (it will affect their work...). Which one are you? . I'm both. I have fond memories of seeing the pure white snow that hides the scenery. In the weather forecast, the symbol "It's going to snow" is a snowman. At the nursery school, a three-year-old boy ran into the entrance from the garden, rubbed his red cheeks, and said, ``Sensei, a snowman is falling.'' Well, how cute! My heart was relieved by the cold weather.
