After a couple of weeks with temperatures in the high twenties warm enough to take the chill out of your bones after the long winter, the weather took a change for the worse with the last 3 days being cloudy and dull. It was raining when I woke up yesterday, the temperature rising to a cold mere 12 degrees and it was still raining at midnight last night when I went to bed! This morning it was quite cloudy but at around 10am the sunlight poured through the clouds and the bright blue sky was at last visible again. Naomi and I decided to go to Sera Highland, a 50km drive away, where there are flower farms growing pretty much everything that can grow in Spring! The only snag is that each farm is separate and each costs about $7 to enter but the farms are huge and you can spend a couple of hours strolling around. Last year we visited the tulip farm so this time we went to the Wisteria Flower Farm which has nothing but wisteria! They have an array of purples, pinks and some whites on display and the flowers give off a very sweet scent that you can even get a whiff of from the car park! It was mother's day here in Japan today so there were a few families out enjoying the day. The weather stayed mostly fine and the mercury is going to drop to 6 degrees tonight! I can't wait for it to warm up again.
they almost look like grapes growing on a vine
the flowers look very different up close!
