The weeds have grown in our yard and we decided to do something about it...we don't really have grass. Alex plugged in the electric hand-held mower that was left in the shed. It took over an hour to clear our small patch of weeds. In Japan, a kept garden is expected. For fear of embarrassing ourselves, Rachel and I raked dry leaves in the car port...we don't have a car, but our bikes are parked there. Januck cleared some low branches on the trees.
We saw many frogs, a praying mantis, some cicadas, and spiders. You would think my kids had never seen insects before. All the screaming and freaking out made the yard work take even longer. It was funny, but was a good first attempt at a kept garden!
