Nasubi

This has been the wettest spring ever - it seems we can't get more than one clear day in a week to do anything. It is humid and warm - perfect for breeding mosquitoes, weeds and mold. The grass is turning green and the trees are no longer bare. We ran outdoors and planted a dozen nasubi eggplant seedlings and then sat inside and watched it pour.

The dogwood trees were all in bloom along the roadside in Kawashiri and they looked so lovely. We went down another road and it was just lined with azaleas - azaleas everywhere in the city are covered with blooms (except my bushes where the blooms are rather sparse). Even in the rain, it brings the hope of spring.
