The news says that the rainy season starts the day before yesterday. It’s going to be humid for a while. Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers are being harvested every day in the small vegetable garden in the yard. This year, bitter melons have made a nice green curtain for the windows. I looked this morning and there were about five fruits on them. It’s been a while since I’ve finished making a tabor pipe. The body is made of black cherry stained with Kobaishi. The head is African blackwood. I’m thinking of trying it out for a few months and making any adjustments before selling it.
