Wild Strawberries

On our walk to the river, we saw beautiful purple and pink lupin flowers and cute ponies in the field. We were surprised to find many wild strawberries ready for picking! As we didn't have any containers with us, Tomohiro made cups out of fuki leaves.

I used the berries we picked to make wild strawberry rhubarb jam. We can taste it during the summer barbecue that we will have this Saturday! Let's catch some fish to put on the grill too!

The Cabin on the Mountain


It was a hot and sunny day today. The daikon and lettuce seedlings are growing in the garden!

We went to the cabin and hammered nails into blocks of wood.

We listened to the semi (cicada) and picked edible mountain plants (warabi).

Planting the Vegetable Garden





We planted Japanese radish seeds, carrot seeds, lettuce seeds, and burdock seeds.
Now let's care for them and watch them grow!

More Tadpole Hunting





Here are a few more pictures from the day we went looking for tadpoles.

It was fun catching them, looking at them, touching them, and releasing them.

Soon they will grow legs!

Tadpole Hunting



先週末は久々に晴れた日でした!

クラスで川にいくと、大量のおたまじゃくしがいました。英語でいうと、tadpoleですね。

子供も大人も黒く集まったtadpoleに大騒ぎ。

生き物を見ると子どもは特に嬉しくなりますね。

どのくらいの数がカエルになるのかは不明ですが、全部変えると大変な数になります。

来週も晴れて欲しいですね。
