Mon. picnic, drying a rice


道端で、なまえはわからん。
日曜の刈り入れならん稲架けが隊列を組む峡の畦道

行ってきました。懐かしい風景です。天日干しは美味。たぶん自家飯米で、容易には手にはいらないでしょう。(9.30)
Sep. 29th
We had lunch in the hills today too. We brought a rug, two chairs, a tables and a small Futon. Norisan indulged himself in a nap on the Futon on the green. And I prepared a ground golf set. Then Norisan didn’t lock his car’s key in his car. We enjoyed today's picnic perfectly at last. As I was on the way home, I found a rice with pickets in the rice crop. The pastoral landscape is remarkable now. I wanted to take a picture of the beautiful landscape, but I didn’t bring my camera today. If it won't be raining tomorrow, I will drive back taking pictures and we will have breakfast in the hills.

excursus・・Imemediately, I drove to take the picture nextday.
Anyway the new rice is good. Usually we cook it with less water than the old rice. But nowaday, the rice are mechanically harvested, so the rice is very dry. If we would like to eat a good new rice, we need to cook it with water as much as old rice.
