It was great having breakfeast and looking out at the garden and then heading out for the day.

Be careful with theBamboo!! Turn your back on it for a couple of weeks and it's spread across the whole state!!!![]

If you were able to have a job for 15 years that you loved doing you were blessed!! When you start on your garden post some pics.

That is one fight I would be willing to pay to see. I don't think Pacquiao would destroy Mayweather but I think he would win.

I did not see the fight but almost two rounds just sucks! Two rounds dominated by one fighter, a very good fighter, is boring. Yeah Pack Man was great and the knock out was impressive but this fight reminds me why I hated Mike Tyson fights, 1, 2, 3 rounds over. I want a fight to go at least 8 rounds. I realize that is not always possible but it is still dissapointing for me. Don't get me wrong he is a great fighter and deserved to win but for me it is dissapointing and one reason I don't pay money for fights.

Back by and behind the Japanese latern is where I need to finish.

Dtel you should go to Kyoto and maybe Takayama. Takayama is about 4 hours by train from Kyoto and is a beautiful trip. Someday will go back. This is my Japanese garden between my house and garage. About 2/3 done.

Japanese graveyard in Takayama.

Koi pond in Takayama.

Garden in Takayama.

Had to cross this river to get to Shirakawago.

.

We did a day trip to Shirakawago up in the Japanese Alps. It has many traditional Japanese farmhouses. I saw one that was 4 stories tall and probably had extended families of 15 or more living in them.

We went to Takayama up in the mountains. Street in Takayama.

I wondered if she hurt her hand holding that big baby?

.

Another favorite place. It had trees and bamboo all around it that gave it a feeling of being out in the Japanese countryside.

Another temple and garden. We were looking for a different temple/garden and stumbled upon this one. It is very easy to find temples and gardens in Kyoto and Takayama.

and it was on a roof only able to get to it thru the window.

One of my favorite gardens in Japan! So simple.

This is why I called it the orange temple. Someone really really liked Orange.
