Moegee is the Korean word for mosquito and boy there were a bunch of them out today. Jade and I went to her parent's tomb in order to cut back the weeds and vines. We planted grass on the tomb in the spring, but it didn't take. The vines grow so quickly here, due to the hot wet climate and it hindered the growth of the grass. Next year we're going to have to go more often and keep cutting them back. The weather here was good for working and we got a lot done. We cleaned the tomb up in about two hours and then headed for home. You should see Jade's face, it is all swollen from mosquito bites. I feel sorry for her!!! The photo of the peppers is a really common sight here at this time of year. A lot of farmers dry their peppers on the sidewalks. Each pepper is cleaned and split open by hand, in order to dry them. Pepper paste and ground red pepper is a big part of the Korean diet. It is found in just about every dish.
