On the Farm

Not much to report. My house is clean, thanks to the lovely sister missionaries. I fed them homemade pizza, they cleaned my shower for me (I can't do it while Clark sleeps or he'll wake up, everything else I can handle on my own). They also washed the lunch dishes, so I had time to pot the mango seed! YEAH! I'll take a picture in a few days after I know it has survived the transplant. In the mean time I'll show you how tropical this part of Japan is becoming. We are in the midst of rainy season so it is especially green and lush here(it finally started...thank goodness!), but I need to show off this.




I started this tree last year from an avocado seed. I love trying to get avocado seeds to grow. Usually they'll do ok, and I can have a bush for a few years, but NOTHING like this. This tree sprouted...only sprouted...shortly before Clark was born, and this is what it looks like now. It is freaking growing branches! Holy Snappers! I am stoked. Wish us luck.

Oh and hey, if anyone knows why all the flowers fell off of my zucchini plant...let me know...does anyone think it was bugs, or does that naturally happen sometime?
