It’s not an abandoned house!

Monday, 17 September: Respect for the Elderly Day. The day after Typhoon No. 11 might have hit us.

The Naniwa rose grows aggressively during summer.
After a rainy day, it grows impressively.
This summer, it was very hot in Japan. Chris was very busy for many things.
It got cooler, and we didn’t have special plans for today. So we were eager to trim it today, and we took some photographs of how terrible looking it was. But it started to rain when we were doing that.

We hoped to trim it before people started to think our house might be a deserted house!
As I was writing that, I started to hear clipping sounds from outside.
Oh! Mr. Chris started to conquer it, even though he was attacked by many mosquitoes.
(I brought the mosquito coil for him. But I can’t stop the rain.)
