English May 9, 2006: May regular meeting
	May regular meeting was held today. We confirmed to encourage each other to settle the last month's home accounts before the meeting day.
The members in charge of lunch preparation were working hard in the kitchen.
	Beautiful peony smiled at us. We make it a rule to bring the seasonal flowers taken from the garden of the group member on duty.
The meeting started in tension. We discussed about "economy and public" by taking the word from the writing of Ms. Motoko Hani, the founder of GOF(Group Of Friend.)
	Together with the group on duty, some members of the newly started group of "public affairs" expressed their hopes.
The last year settlement and this year budget of our GOF were discussed and okayed.
	We also reviewed past three years trial and error activity of food production.
So many heated discussion and items found no ends till late after the noon time. We had good lunch after that, however.
	After the lunch,, we cleaned up the whole house.
In thinking the reduction the use of the air conditioners and decoration of the house, we decided to grow plants using the planter.
	The planter, soil,and fertilizer were brought in and we set the planter quickly. We planted the seeds of morning glory given from "Oita clean up campaign."
We also used compost.
	We expect those planters would make a good curtain to cover our house in green.
