It's now officially rainy season here. The weeds are growing faster and the creatures are getting louder and more active. We've been finding cute little frogs everywhere and spider skins around. The snakes should be next!
The skies have also been really beautiful. Unfortunately I don't always have my camera with me so here's some that I took with my handy keitai (cell phone). Every day there's amazing clouds and colors. Sometimes after a storm, the sunset paints the whole sky red.
There's also new fruits and vegetables in season. When I ride my bike around, I can smell the strawberry fields. It smells like candy! So sweet. We got free, fresh corn from a neighbor and the rice fields are starting to be planted. Last week, I helped one of my schools tend a rice field with some local farmers and next week I'm invited to plant the new seedlings. I hear it's muddy work. So far, the teachers have been impressed with my farming skills so hopefully I won't let them down. The vice principal was joking around and said I should wear a bathing suit. I sense some mud ball fights coming my way!
