Bow bow for a while.
Supporting the weeding team.
It has become so beautiful.
I found it on my way back from the field.
There was a Monkey Kingfisher again this year.
He comes to the rescue center every day.
This time, we will introduce you to making tea.In fact, the remains of Mr. de Rotz's workshop in Ohira will be completed.There is only one month left until completion.For the open event
I will make tea. Tea leaves will be picked from 9am on Sunday, September 24th.After that (in the morning), I come down to the rescue center and spend time fermenting and roasting the tea leaves.Please bring a packed lunch and join us. The event will end at around 9:16 pm, but if you can't attend for a long time, you are welcome to stop halfway.
We are looking for people who are interested in making tea.Please note that there is no charge for this experience.Please help me in the form of help.
I was relieved by the blessing of rain after a long time.

A wild boar is also watching over us somewhere, but this is our sweet potato.
A beautiful rainbow in the sudden refreshing rain.
"I'll do my best for the next 30 minutes!" is a reliable shout.
Many people served.
Perfect volunteer work!
Soba seeds sown last week.The buds have sprouted.
The long-awaited rain has finally begun to fall.It moistened the sunburned earth.Thank God!is.Soba also sprouted so quickly.
I'm glad that it's growing well.The other day, a group of volunteers in the city removed uncontrollable large grasses during the intense heat.How difficult must it be for people who usually work in an office to work outdoors?Thank you very much to everyone for your cooperation.Everyone who is reading the blog, please take a look at their hard work.
The potatoes are also getting bigger little by little.Growth varies.The digging time is scheduled for Saturday, November 11th.Please look forward to.I'm also looking forward to seeing the wild boars, so I'll do my best to keep an eye on them so they don't dig me up.
Well then, goodbye until the next update.
The heat wave continues.How are you.

In the landscape you envisioned...
It was built by Nagasaki City as a sister town tie-up between former Sotomi Town and Wassurol Village.

Smoke from the tea roasting kiln.
Mr. de Rotz's mill upstream of the river under the bridge
I sowed the seeds of buckwheat and plan to harvest in November.
How are you all doing?There are some people who feel the signs of autumn but still suffer from the intense heat, so I would like you to take good care of your physical condition.
By the way, many people mistakenly think that this rescue center is a hospital or a birthing place.From the outside, it looks like an ordinary old private house, but it seems that there are many buildings and it is also a place that interests you.There are various people who enter the building with misunderstanding, people who avoid entering, and people who enter with knowledge.Although it is a vague explanation of the love of humanity of Father de Rotz, who saved the poverty of the villagers while being a missionary, I will allow it.
The scenery is beautiful!The air is delicious!very quiet?I want to live here!!I am very happy to hear from you.Would you like to come and visit us?
Until next time, take care. (It's almost time to harvest the sweet potatoes. We'll let you know on this page as well.)

Morning at Shitsu Church

A view of Ikeshima Coal Mine
How are you all doing?How are you spending these hot, hot days?
It's already August.It seems that it will melt under the power of the sun.Please be careful.
The most energetic thing under this sun is "grass".No matter how much you cut it, it will grow steadily.
I am stunned.But the battle continues.While sweating and feeling the pleasant breeze, being encouraged by the setting sun over Ikeshima (former coal mine)
I'm on my way home.Hope you all are well.Until I hear from you again.
February has begun

I finished pruning the tea tree.
It is a lotus flower in the wetland park.
How beautiful❣
golf ball?It was like
Every day when the rainy season began and it continued to rain.Flowers, birds, and insects made me enjoy such a damp time.
As you can see, they helped me with the pruning of the tea tree, which was difficult to cut due to the rainy weather.
The lotus flowers I was curious about from the train window, but when I got out of the car and looked at them, they were really beautiful❣The wings of butterflies are silky, velvety and gorgeous.
I'm fascinated.How are the clouds today?When I left the front door and looked up at the sky, well!Tsubame-san is also worried about the weather.
I hope you are doing well.I hope you are well until I post again.
