a full day

went to the rice field in Hamochi with my dad,
moved traies of rice seedlings (now they are about 5 inches tall) into the rice field; this helps them grow more roots,
cut grass around the rice field with a small machine,
dug inside edge of the rice field with a hoe to prevent weeds to invade it,
picked some warabi,
had lunch with Ooyama-san; brown rice with soy beans and azuki beans miso soup with takenoko or bamboo shoots, tofu, warabi; boiled udo in sesami seeds sauce, pickled plum, etc.
planted pumpkin seeds near my dad's cabin after digging a bit and adding some mountain soil? and leaves
came home
went running for an hour or so
watered plants
took a shower
played the piano a bit
had dinner; brown rice, natto, cucumber with miso-honey-young leaves of Japanese pepper sauce, cooked takanoko, etc.

time to take some rest
