City slickers hit the farm


We're on a farm in South Japan. A real farm with rabbits, a tractor, pick forks, hay and greenhouses. There's a 19 year old dog, a Christmas tree, a volcano, two cats that spoon each other, a dog that doesn't like us speaking English, cob webs on glass jars in the kitchen and a brown snake that bit one of the farmers 5 ago (actually, we don't know if the snake is still here). We eat around a big country kitchen table 3 times a day, pull out weeds, feed the cows, sow seeds, harvest crops and pack organic vegetables for sale. This is just perfect for us city-slickers for the next couple of months.
