One day as I was coming home from teaching, I discovered some gardeners trimming the hedge that separates our buildings from a parking lot.
The man on the ladder is using a power tool that looks like a chainsaw but has lots of small blades that trim the branches.
On the next day, my wife and I went to the doctor's to get our daily medicine and while walking home (about 6 kilometers) we saw these plants. They are a kind of reed and they are used in flower arranging. If you buy them in Tokyo, they are very expensive but here they just grow wild. Actually I think they are quite pretty and enjoy watching them move in the wind.
From the doctor's, we walked to Green Mart, an upscale supermarket that we like. We buy our coffee beans there, for example. From Green Mart, we took a short cut through a park area that contains a small pond. The apartment complex in the background is only about five years old. One of our friends, a Scotsman, lives in one of the apartments.
