Yomitan Farms

Have we told you that the island is agrarian and there are small farms just about everywhere you look? Even in the towns that are concrete jungles – there’s still patches of farmland. Some of the main crops are brown sugar cane, chrysanthemum, purple potatoes, rice, and fruits…and lots of pigs. Our neighbors are all either farmers or fishermen, or both.
Little farms and beach all around us.

They chuckled that I was taking pics of their crops of all things and one of them introduced me to the yagi. (below)

Meet our other neighbors…
{yagi = goats}
 {more brown sugarcane all the way to the beach}
In other news, we got our first shipment ~ all of our kitchenware and linens. It was like getting to open all of our wedding presents all over again. The Japanese movers were laughing so hard at my excited “OOOOOs!” and “Oh my platter!!” Our furniture and wardrobes are still floating somewhere on a ship in the Pacific but are supposed to get here soon.
..
We are also now the proud owners of an adorable scooter!
Once I get my motorcycle license, it’s officially my new ride.
..
Far more important than all of that however is what takes place this Sunday….

Have a great weekend xox
