Time is passing...

I tried to post this picture as part of my last post, but blogger wouldn't let me put another picture in it. This is one way to mark the passing of time in Japan, by watching the rice grow. If you'll notice, it's the same rice field that I put in the May 30 post. A whole month has passed since then. My, how time flies! Reflecting over the past month, it's amazing all that can happen in the span of 30 days...
