The morning before yesterday, I got an urgent call from a Ten-Sho-An staff member… “Oh my God, the swallows’ nests have fallen and some of the chicks are dead.” I replied, “If the fallen nest is not damaged, please put it back on a piece of wood and put the chicks back in the nest …
The day before yesterday, I went to Ten-Sho-An. The weather was good and the vegetables were growing well. My job for the day was to renovate an unused bathroom to make a storage room for bedding. I also finished storing the futon set that we received a while ago, so we are all set for …
It’s been spring recently, with warm sunshine and soft breezes, and the vegetables at Ten-Sho-An are growing well. It feels good to see them grow. I don’t really know why, but…. I guess it stimulates my maternal instincts. It’s not just plants, but animals and people as well, and I feel the joy of nurturing …
It was a beautiful day today, and I was able to do some field work at Ten-Sho-An… Koji san and Micchan were already working on this and that. I’m grateful that spring seems to be coming even to our small, toy-like farm. There are pleasures other than what money can buy. It also gives me …
Today, we pruned the overgrown yuzu trees at Ten-Sho-An. Koji san and I both had scars on our arms and hands from the dense thorns…we even stepped on our shoes with the thorns.

In the evening, we started to cover the hall …

However, I couldn’t do field work, so I had to postpone my planned work of planting potato seeds. Then, I chatted with a neighboring community supporter who happened to be visiting us. He’s not really …
Today I went to Ten-Sho-An after a while. The weather was fine, so I thought it would be okay if it was a little cold, so I went out on my bike. But the temperature was about three or four degrees and I was freezing. I should have taken the train… My hands were sore …
This Saturday and Sunday, I worked on this and that at Ten-Sho-An, and enjoyed a walk in the spring-like weather…. The other day, we started the roof tile repair work at Ten-Sho-An. The contractor is doing the work at a very reasonable price without any profit. I’m grateful for that. I came to Ten-Sho-An to …
