As usual, we've been busy doing a multitude of family and work things and have been away from the computer. Now that the new school year is underway and the staff farewell and welcome parties are behind us, we can get down to the business of relaxing. Except for the upcoming once-every-four years town festival that requires me to play the flute, that is. :/
It's fun, but the practices every evening for the past month have tested my limits. Fortunately, we recently had a wonderful visit from my Mother who came mid-month to stay for ten days. It was a great visit and one in which the boys in particular enjoyed the quality time together. She was also a great help during a busy month for us. During her trip we got a chance to visit an onsen, a dairy and sheep farm and enjoy the cherry blossoms in Sendai.

I know I'm being a jerk here, but I couldn't resist... the imagery was just to o strong (and besides I've been known to have many a typo in my own blog, and "People in glass houses...")... but...
How exactly does a "diary and sheep farm" work? Is it the sheep themselves who keep a daily journal?
Indeed. It's the sheep who know best how to write a good yarn.

Four wonderful photos. You captured a great moment with the boys and grandma. Are they all really that good-looking or just magically photogenic? And to catch the cherry blossoms, laterns and sunset all at once makes for a lovely picture.
And Mark, Dion says, "grOOOan."
I had forgotten how much I (don't)miss Mark's puns until I visited! Seriously Mark, it was a very special time with you and the family, and now that I am back home I really do miss your wry sense of humour.
