Life on the farm is simple and happy. We laugh everyday, get to know people over extended meal times at the long wooden kitchen table, eat ice cream for afternoon tea and Lina sleeps under a tree at lunch. As we work, the farmers whistle, we think about life, the women chat in Japanese, the frogs croak, the dog that doesn't like English follows us around and we play our small role in creating organic vegetables for people to eat. This is a photo of some pots and things in the yard with a greenhouse in the background. It was taken at about 5pm after we harvested vegetables to be sold the next day. The kitchen utensils and other objects in this shot are typical of the things lying around the farm that represent simplicity and comfort living. We love the orange sky because it means the day has nearly come to an end, we feel a strong sense of accomplishment for another day's work and dinner is just a couple of hours away. Everything here is so easy and makes perfect sense.
