晴天に恵まれた青空の下で、まずはみんなで斧を持ちタバコの茎をカットしていきます。
It's Tobacco Harvest Season in Wisconsin! Tobacco grows so quickly. It was still small plant 3 month ago but now it looks massive, strong and has beautiful green color! Last year it got flooded badly and we lost all of the tobacco but this year it looks great!! Nowadays the image of tobacco is unhealthy but it's very important for Native Americans. When we harvest tobacco, we feel both a spiritual and cultural connection to it's Native history, I never thought about tobacco like that before. Every year, Tobacco farmers help each other so they have lots of shared community memories. It is an historical annual community event.
Under the perfect blue sky we started cutting Tobacco plant!



From kids to adult, everybody helps all day!

Farmer's wives homemade lunch is one of the most important things for harvest season! Get energy everyone!!

さて、今日は私達のお客様がラクロスにご到着なのでこのあとお迎えに!夕暮れのミシシッピ川がみえるかな?
One of our Amish neighbour also helped. Of course he came by his buggy!
Our clients would arrive so we went to the La Crosse Airport to pick them up! We were hoping to show the beautiful sunset on the Mississippi.

But,,,,, the plane was delay,,,,, we just enjoyed by ourselves....


Enjoy with the host family and farming!!! When we arrived at Aiko and Iyo's hostfamily, it was 11 PM,,,,,, Sleep well!!!!
