My mom goes to the vegetable gardens every morning like 6am. Photo: her harvest in the summer
Pig feet cooking on charcoal. The soup is wonderful
Sausages drying in the early morning of the “ham” day-2
I’m learning to take over the day-2 tasks from my mom.
First decent loaf in months
He suddenly appeared on the dining table one evening
95 year old couple taking daikon seeds off the pods.
He was in good health then, but now is suffering from back pain and doesn’t want to eat
Roasting eggplants for baingan bartha and babaganoush
The old folks liked the dishes for their baby food like texture.
Amane gets called on the pig days — when we load a pig on the truck to take ferry.
...After that he comes to the home to hang out with the seniors
There’s a young bucket maker on the neighboring island (the slaughterhouse is there too). He made the bucket, and here it is waiting to get filled with fresh miso
We needed a bucket big enough to hold 30kg of miso
Me in the early hours of day-2

Schlegel’s tree frog
There should be many of those frogs here but its rare that I see them out. This one was just sitting on the road. I poked its butt because I didn’t want it to get run over. It reluctantly walked, jumped, and climbed up the tree. I fell in love with its sleepy eyes.
Now I’m in Ojika (the island where I used to live until I went to school in Fukuoka) for the first time in a year. My friends and I went out to the sea to scatter our dear friend’s ashes yesterday. It was very beautiful. Winds picked up today and the ferry is cancelled. I can’t go home tomorrow.
