There is “Michi-no-Eki Aito Margaret Station” in Higashiomi City, which is located in the eastern part of Lake Biwa and where the countryside spreads. The “Cosmos Garden” was opened on October 5th. The cosmos is still one-third in bloom, and the blue leaves stand out. The cosmos flowers in full bloom are also spectacular, but I also like the cosmos flowers of these days. It is good that each flower is big and fresh. The customers are still sparse, and I can enjoy the cosmos slowly to my heart’s content. From now on, it seems that the days of visiting Cosmos will continue.

琵琶湖の東、田園が広がる東近江市に「道の駅あいとうマーガレットステーション」があります。その中の「コスモス園」が、10月5日に開園しました。コスモスもまだ三分咲きで、青い葉っぱの方が目立ちます。満開のコスモスも見応えがあっていいですが、この頃のコスモスも好きです。一つひとつの花が大きく初々しいのがいいです。お客さんもまだ疎らで、ゆっくりと心ゆくまでコスモスを鑑賞できます。これからは一頻り、コスモスを訪ねる日々が続きそうです。
