For the last three weeks, we have been undoing what we have done here in the last three and a half years! As I busily pack boxes and bags and say our good-byes to the many friends we have made it is surprising I have had any time to notice what else is going on around here.
The Japanese cranes are no longer coming to the village to feed but are instead feasting on fish, frogs, insects and more in the marshland. The couples are taking turns sitting on their eggs keeping them warm and guarding them from fox, weasels, and birds of prey.
The pussy willows are transforming into yellow balls and some are already leaves.
Birds we have not heard since October sound happy to be back.
The third baby pony and the fourth dosanko foal were born.
What will this last week bring?
I'll let you know.
