Recently, it is getting much cooler in the
morning
and evening. YEAH!!
The better season for
gardening is coming here. The lovely flowers called
a “Blue Beard”
are blooming in my garden..
It is very cute as a vegetables’ flower.
A section of gumbo is like a shape of a star,which is
really nice. But my gumbos sometimes are tough and
have a lot of string.

I wonder if the less moisture of the soil causes it.

Japanese home cooking. I garnished it with green stars.
By the way, There were two big activities held in the
junior high school where my children went last weekend
for two days. On the first day, We had seen Recitals of
a dance, short drama and singing in chorus inside a gym.
My son first sung with other two students “Sorannbushi /
ソーラン節 (traditional work song of fishery worker)” and
performed it with 20 or so students vigorously. The bouncy
song makes us cheerful. As f for my daughter, She played
the role of a turtle in dram called “Urashima Taro(浦島太郎)”
She played it confidently. I was proud of them.
So, my son belongs to his
school’s cheering group for
three years. The last performance of the day's program
the rooters sung a fight songs .

colorful lunches.

On second day, Athletic festival was held
in school ground.
Our parents enjoyed watching my children
and their
classmates do a ‘centipede' race (between teams of
runners with their legs linked together) , relay betweens
their classes , a cavalry battle. I fully felt a great growth
of my kids through these two days. Fooray for bloom of youth!!!

What a nice way to end your Summer! It seems like we did a lot more activities when our kids lived at home. Enjoy the last few years with them, you won't believe how fast it goes - then they're gone and the house is so quiet. I've never grown okra. It's one of our traditional Southern foods. I hear that cooking method renders it quite slimy. My husband grew up in Alabama, one of our Southern states. He won't eat it. I guess he had it too much as a child. It does make a pretty garnish and have a pretty flower though, and maybe raw it would be nicer. I'm with you on the cooler weather! Isn't it so nice when Summer finally lets up?
Hello, Kate!
I enjoyed your story about okra.
It's one of your traditional Southern foods,right?
So,I also realize lately that our living room is a little bit quieter than before.
Our children surely spent their time in their room than in living room.
I feel a little lonely.
