Our Backyard

This is the view from our upstairs window. Pretty cool, huh?
It doesn't matter what the weather is like, on weekends after sleeping-in late Steph and I will almost always open the widow in the morning and and thank the Lord.
The home you see in the above picture is fairly new but in the traditional Japanese style (as is our home). The owner also tends beautiful gardens around his home and a rice field which is raised-up from our subdivision's entry road by a great rock wall which is over 8 feet high in some places (you can see what I mean in the below pics--see the rock wall). It's the fanciest rice field in town. And it's pretty wild as the guy probably has enough money not to grow his own rice but like most Japanese in the countryside--his rice field is like a church. What I mean to say is that rice is really important to the Japanese people...... well, anyway,... it's beautiful in every season. Check out the summer pics below. You can see Steph in our upstairs window.Double-click to see the pics full-screen.
