A Modest Utopia!!
Great Weather on Sunday for HanaMi CherryBlossom Sakura gatherings.. Mimata's KamiYone Park is awesome, and it felt great, very convivial to be there with a lot of people enjoying the day.. I ended up running from the CherryBlossom Beauty slope to the other side of a neighboring 山 big hill to appreciate the big playground.. Lots of healthy bright-eyed people outside having a great time.. It reminded me of some lines from Paul Goodman's essay "A Modest Utopia" all we really want is good air, clean water, and the chance to grow up healthy and vivacious... all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed...

Mimata's KamiYone park: live music, open fire, SakuraJima view, a wonderful event. Third year going, hopefully it will go on for many many years, such an awesome time. Next year I'll wear more layers. it got cold.. The hot ginger drink from the one-one coffee booth was great, as was the BBQ meats.. Other booth dishes also had great reviews from friends.. A chocolate banana thing and other stuff..

Hot Sunday afternoon for running errands but the top of this park, Mimata Town's KamiYone Park (or Kabayama Park after the remains of the Kabayama Castle here?), was nice and cool. I'll have to remember to come here in August and see if there is still a nice, cool breeze coming up through the trees with that pleasant humus, composting leaf litter smell... Might need mosquito coils or something in the summer though, but it might be a nice place to breathe and read during the most punishing times of summer..
