Barely here two weeks and already injured my ankle in our battle against the encroaching jungle of stumps and roots and poorly thought out neighborhood nuisance adjacent lot shenanigans of several years’ deferred maintenance. #ilovemybear #shigakenjapan #shigaprefecture #iloveshiga #yardworkishardwork #brokenbricks #guttercovers #mrssandlittleb #weworkwelltogether #tuffstuff #hardworkpaysoff🙌 #becarefullwhenworking #watchyoursteppendejo #clumsyeric #completeklutz #maspendejo #stillmuchtodo (at Otsu, Shiga) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx1EBrWJkIo/?igshid=73rr77xxls39

Today was a hard day, y’all. I hand sawed that stump like a champ. It took an hour and a half and I had to keep using a drill to put holes in it to make it easier because we’ll destroy it was salt solution soon. Whilst letting the drill cool here and there, I hand sawed a few more tree stumps to make them shorter for the salt solution process. I’m absolutely exhausted, but feeling fulfilled. #fromlosangelestojapan #shigakenjapan #iloveshiga #orale #shigajapan #yardworkishardwork #yardworkwithmybear #mrssandlittleb #weworkwelltogether #ilovemybear #ilovemrss #angelinoinshiga #shigaken #shigaprefecture #geterdone💪 #notbadforaguywithms (at Otsu, Shiga) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxzJHV2JWfh/?igshid=v20dbkrvihfx

As you can see, Mrs S and I ain’t fuckin’ around here. We’ve got a lot of work to do in prepping the adjacent lot for the garden we’re planning. We had a tree that was damaging the castle, and several other poorly thought out and deferred maintenance trees that turned the jungle into a neighborhood nuisance. It’s hard work but I’m having a blast nevertheless. #fromlosangelestojapan #shigakenjapan #iloveshiga #orale #shigajapan #shigaken #shiga #shigaprefecture #otsushiga #angelinoinshiga #meandmybear #yardworkwithmybear #yardworkishardwork #stumpbust #treestumpremoval (at Otsu, Shiga) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxzDlmsBhEU/?igshid=vw76pzs7tqkv

Needed a quiet moment alone late at night and just noticed that it’s quieter during the daylight hours here. But it’s probably the most beautiful moment I’ve ever experienced, calming and relaxing. The crickets and the frogs, the occasional dog barking, the sound of water flowing beneath me in the gutters of the runoff. Even back home I never experienced anything like this. #iloveshiga #shigakenjapan #orale #shigajapan #makingourhouseahome #fromlosangelestojapan (at Otsu, Shiga) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxxJo3oJ1bU/?igshid=1boq9u2pn6h3o
