Our part of Japan has officially entered the rainy season. True to weather forecast, we had 48-hour non-stop rain until late afternoon yesterday. When it finally stopped, I decided to go out and feel the fresh air. What I found was a whole bunch of fallen leaves on the front yard. I took out a broom and started sweeping the ground. The rain had made the leaves stuck, which made my job a bit difficult. It took some time but I was doing alright UNTIL a strong wind came and blew away more leaves on the trees. I almost got angry with the wind and threw away the broom, but fortunately I managed to control myself, realizing the stupidity of such an act. Can't fight the power of the Nature. I decided to move on and continued my work. What an accomplishment! I was proud of myself.
