This summer Japan has had nothing but rain. Just when you think summer is over, it rains again, this time due to the outbreak of typhoons and an autumn rain front. The growth of rice in the breadbasket regions is being worried because of the lack of sunshine hours.

Inflation in the U.S. seems to be pretty bad, as I learned from Fox News, youtube's "New York Survival", etc. Even in Japan, gasoline prices are still in the 160 yen range. The rice paddies in Japan have been hit by heavy water and flooding, perhaps due to man-made weather conditions. Rice prices may soar this year. Rice cannot be grown without rice paddies, but vegetables can be grown if you have a garden. I have decided to expand my garden area with my own garden.

The foot of Mt. Nasu Chausu in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, is pastureland for corn and other crops. Because the price of imported feed has skyrocketed, our neighbor Shin-chan's family has increased the area planted with corn.

On the Japanese Cabinet Office's website in 2009, it said, "The government and the media will work together to achieve the goals of Agenda Population Reduction. Are the various policies of the government set up to get rid of the population?

A typhoon is targeting Japan. They are getting bigger and bigger and about to hit all of Japan. Water from the rainy season has caused flooding, and Japan's breadbasket has been flooded to a great extent.

We live in the dairy farming region. They grow grasses and corns to feed cows. We're retired couple. Nothing we have to do, but lots of work to do every day. Watch!

I was two years old at the time of World War II. I was repatriated from Taiwan with my parents, older brother and older sister after the defeat of the war. I have lived my life (indirectly) with a sense of remorse that Japan was one of the Axis Powers that caused the world war. I learned from history that Hideki Tojo was hanged for a terrible war crime. However, two years ago, during the rigged U.S. presidential election and the declass in the Corona pandemic, I learned a lot of truth. And at the same time, about the Pacific War and Japan's divided government after the war. All my previous beliefs were turned upside down. It was a shock, but I accepted.

Huge(for Japanese) pumpkin harvest. The best way to gather up the pumpkins. Watch! It's not only Americans but the whole world who're worried about legitimate election.

Harvest. Tomatoes, eggplants, bell pepper, cucumbers and blue berries. After farming such as planting seeds, we enjoyed ice cream break. Yamamomo(Japanese wax myrtle) ice candy is so delicious.

Okra, bell pepper and eggplants. Too many tomatoes. We made tomato sauce. We bottled and preserved in the fridge.

With the mask wearing rate No1 in the region, and the vaccination rate 82% of the population, Japan has the highest in the world in the number of the people infected.

Sad! Many longicorn beetles in my garden. They suck at all maple trees. They love sweet syrup of maple trees. No more beautiful leaves turning into red and yellow.

We didn't know that we have lots of praying mantis beetles in the garden. More and more branches are dying in the vigor-declining maple trees. Big shock! We can't see beautiful red and yellow leaves of maple trees this autumn.

Myoga, Japanese ginger, has grown for harvest. Myoga makes miso soup taste better with its slight aroma. Eggplants're still in harvest. I'm good at eggplant saute with sweet soybean paste.

It's time for harvest. Tomatoes, eggplants, green bell peppers and so on. About watermelons, not so good thanks to unusual weather for summer.

Our eldest son visited us during his Bon Holidays. He helped us a lot by weeding or cooking. He's good at making bread & grilling beef to medium.

I'm plowing a vegetable field. I plan to sow seeds of spinach, buchimina, kidney beans and so on. We harvest pumpkins. We're ready for food shortage.

We had a big help for cutting grass. One of our sons is visiting us now in Nasu. He's in Bon-holiday.

Typhoon is gone. Happy sunshine, too warm though. Trump team is busy with two more months before the midterm election. We support him from Japan. Only we can do is to spread the truth through the net in Japan.

I found a bird lying on the ground. He seemed to strike the window and suffered a concussion. I warmed him in my hand until he regained consciousness. The next morning I saw him perch on the power line singing to me. Since then he comes out of the nest and sing to me whenever I'm out in the garden.

Let me introduce my bird friend, a narcissus flycatcher. I call him 'kibitan.' He sings for me whenever I'm out in the garden. To put it bluntly, I saved his life. He must remember when he came to himself from a concussion in my hand.

Mar-a-Lago Raid! I just pray for Trump & his family being safe and fine.

We visited the grave of my family. After that we went to the beach where I used to play when I was a boy. We saw 'Candle island' broken upper half at 311 tsunami. It doesn't look like a candle at all.

Pelosi visited Taiwan, which delighted Taiwanese. I wonder she was satisfied with the result. CCP didn't invade Taiwan though. Is Pelosi really a war-monger?
