Rice Harvest

This is a rice paddy on John's walk to school in Matsumoto.

I remember when the rice paddies were full of tiny little green sprouts. Now it's harvest time.

Soon it'll be so cold we'll be running between our kerosene heated room and the rest of the house. Our olive oil and face wash will freeze. We may just unplug the fridge because our whole house will be one.

Hopefully, before we know it, they'll be planting new rice!
