A couple of years ago I took my first transcontinental journey to the infamous Japan! While there we (my hubby & I, and friends) visited temples, shrines, friends & even got to enjoy a Japanese wedding! On one of our days in the Kansai area we traveled out to a Cosmo Festival (basically a field full of blooming Cosmo’s, apparently every year they alternated their traditional rice crop with Cosmo flowers or another crop to put those good nutrients back in the soil), it was my first experience with the flower (that I can recall), and it was Amazing! There were thousands upon thousands, fields of every color, and mixtures of every color. Some short & some taller than me!

Every spring since our visit I’ve planted Cosmo’s, this year I planted a whole long row in my back yard of orange ones… and every day, when I look out my window, I think of Japan and our dear friends there.
