This is a story about an
international couple raising and home educating three
young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in
buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in
the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with
climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages
are about pretty much anything and everything all guided
by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes,
Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our
ongoing crazy adventure.

INCREDIBLE THUNDERSTORMS -
This was the um “view” of neighboring Yakushima yesterday afternoon. The island
was shrouded in clouds which were producing loud thunder and a lot of rain. I
went to the rock beach close to the house with Shai to watch the storms and hang
out for awhile. This morning those storms made it to Tanegashima. Crazy.

LIGHT TASTE -
The inside of a dragon fruit is as interesting as the outside. The taste is
slightly reminiscent of kiwi but much lighter.

KAWAII NA -
This is the new setup in front of the entry. A couple of nice pieces of
driftwood, some dragon fruit and aloe vera growing in bamboo pots. Top it off
with some potted marigolds and voila….a beautiful outside entry.
SHUCKING POPCORN -
This was all of the popcorn we grew in the upper upper farm. Shai was very busy
shucking all the husks.
