M; How tall are you?

F; I’m 5.1837 feet tall, and you?

M; Hmmm…I’m about 156 cm. Are you taller than me?

F; Yeah I’m 2cm taller than you.

M; We’re both much shorter than the White Trumpet Lilies In John’s garden. They’re said to be almost 170cm high.

F; Oh….they grow well, don’t they?

M; It’s said they’re growing taller year by year.

F; Next year they’ll grow taller than this year,won’t they?

M; I have no idea.

Harvest less and slower than usual

M; Finally…the blackberries are ripen in my garden.

F; It seems lack of sunshine caused poor harvest this year, doesn’t it?

M; Yeah…it’s three weeks behind compared to last year. And small number of maturity of the berries😓

F; It’s lack of fresh vegetables and fruits in Japan because of the long cold weather last months.

M; We need to be patient for the very expensive ones.

F; Don’t be wasteful for anything🧐

Bugs party

M; Here comes Ann’s garden party regularly. The visitors are bugs such as cicadas, butterflies, scrub beetles as well as frogs and so on…which she couldn’t catch up in the photo.

F; I see….in my garden, also lots of insects and slugs, pill-bugs and spiders also there! But I don’t know what to do with them. Because they live life where they are…I don’t like to see them but it’s their home.

M; I know…if they might come into your house you would them go out, right?

F; Of course, I expel them from my house!

M; Okay. Every creature has each work to eat or help others life.

F; Mantises eat tiny bugs and spiders catch mosquitoes or flies.

M; It’s a good- chain, isn’t it?

Dangerous insects

M; It’s said dangerous insects are fire ants, redback spiders, yellow jackets and etc…as long as I ever remember.

Sniffing something!

M; Wow…look at you! The dog May stopped and tried to find something in the drain.

F; Oh…dear something small animal picking his face up from the gutter!

M; It’s funny that May noticed and tried to catch the small one hiding in there.

F; What do you think it is?

M; Hmmm … not a rat but a beaver?

F; They say in the comment it might be a baby weasel.

M; Oh…that’s similar face to my stuffed animal 🧸 of otters.

Which is which?

The hot summer!

M; There are lots of dramas behind the high school baseball players.

F; Yesterday Toyama final match was held between the finalists Tomiichi VS Takasho.

M; It was so exciting game that I couldn’t see my eyes off.

F; Each prefecture has that dramatic scene such as the king of Tohin high school or Yokohama lost and Ohfunato Sasaki couldn’t throw the final game and the team was defeated.

M; I understand how much efforts and pains had been with them …, but this is the really impressive life on Sasaki’s family.

F; We can’t read it without tears.

The guard-man robot

M; It’s cool in the night the guard robot patrolling in the building.

F; It really comes that robots are working instead of human power.

M; It could be possible in other workplaces robots will take over the shift from people. For example, automobile car service, care worker, medical nursery and education programs,housekeeping and so on.

F; The development of the technology will bring us lots of help but we’ll be jobless….what will happen?

M; Don’t worry, we can find more important parts to operate robots or manage the technology.

F; But I don’t want to be hired by the robot☹️

Fact check

M; Hmmm…we are always endangered by false informations such as fraud, cheat, trick crimes or phishing mails.

F; That’s a pity that we should be careful for each information.

M; Using SNS people can easily get informations but evil senders make use of lots of people to spread the untrue things to change it true.

F; It’s so scary, isn’t it?

M; Indeed! It’s not good to be suspicious but being cautious is “Better be safe than sorry”, what I can say.

F; We need to have fact checker in our mind.

Fact check

Tower tunnel

M; It’s an amazing tunnel through out the tower building, isn’t it?

F; Oh…it’s kind of plastic model road for the children.

M; It seems very complicated background because of the conflict between the landowner and government for a long while.

F; Well then, the tower tunnel is finally the compromise plan for them.

M; It’s an incredible idea but a small and busy country, Japan can solve the problem.

Beaver fever

M; We’re very familiar to the rice cracker “Beaver” for a long time. But it’s so getting popular among world wide because of Hachimura.

F; It’s nice that he introduces our soul food such as rice cracker which would not be sold well in the US.

M; Not only US but also Japanese who don’t know our local rice cracker are eager to buy it.

F; Almost 50 year-old history of “Beaver” has sorrowful background but after the hard time the good taste had been succeeded by the professionals.
