Now we have two nice flower boxes in our side yard. He finished the mortar leaving enough to make a little stone with my initial. :) so sweet. The first flower box has already tomatoes and eggplants and we are looking forward to plant something in the new one. 二つの花壇ができてとてもいい感じになりました。レンガとレンガの間を埋めるモルターもこの小さな石（私のトレードマーク入り）を作ってくれてきっちり終わりました。最初の花壇にはトマトや茄子が植えてあるので、この新しいのには何を植えようか考え中。ウキウキ。
This is the "before" picture showing ugly red stones.
これが「改善前」の写真。赤黒い石がひどいでしょ。
This brick work was tough because it was twice as long as the first one and we had a lot of hot days in this Summer but he did it! I made Osekihan (azuki bean rice) to celebrate his great work. They make this rice when people celebrate such as entering schools, winning a contest, getting out from hospital and so on in Japan. It is usually a little complicated to make this but my mom has sent me a kit I can make this VERY easy. (Shhh..., don't tell my husband!) It tasted great!!
今回のレンガ積みは大変だったようです。前の花壇の2倍の長さだし暑い日が続いて外での作業時間が限られたのですがStevenが完成させました。完成を祝してママから送ってもらった簡単にできるお赤飯を炊いてお祝い。（簡単にできたことは秘密。:）ふっくら、もちもちでおいしかった！
