Today’s Letter & Final One Is Z
Thank you to all who have followed, joined in, and commented through the month of April! Today concludes the April Blogging From A To Z Challenge. It has been a great experience for me to share with you about all things Japanese I’ve been learning and experiencing. Even though this challenge is over, come back and visit me as I am always writing about places we go, visit and shop at.
We are winding down year 1 since we moved here to Japan and still have 2 more years to experience. So please join me in my daily life, not always exciting but sometimes, it really is!
Today I am going to talk a little about Japanese Zen Gardens. They are a big thing here, of course. The Japanese know how to relax and de-stress in their own homes with Zen Gardens. I have gotten some quick looks at a few from the car as we drive by Japanese homes, but have no pictures of my own to share.
They are so incredibly different to, especially rock ones. If I find some public ones, I will be sure to share them here on my blog. If you would like more information on maybe how you could create & enjoy one in your neck of the woods, you can find information HERE.
Would absolutely love to see some photos of Zen gardens, RoseAnn. Hope you can share with us soon!
And, congratulations for making it through the entire month!
Blessings!

I looked at the pictures in the link and they look magical…That’s how one associates the word Zen with peace, I guess.
