Back in the beginning of July 2013, a magazine photographer came out to do an article about Tomoe’s amazing bread. Unfortunately, per Tomoe’s orders, the bread project has gone to the wayside, and Tomoe has given the decree that we are to make no rice this year, helping her with the bread took up a good portion of my time, and the loss of my favorite summer hobby means I have more time to update the blog this year.
Unfortunately, it also means there will be no work for random passer-bys such as this guy I met riding his bike around Japan. He took me up on my offer to stay here for a day or two and help pull weeds in the field.
