My Spring Break Keeps Getting Better


I went down to Georgia to visit my good friends Lil and Sarah. Fun was had by all. The High Museum is huge and had some great shows up. We saw black and white photos of motorcyclist, and rallies from the 60's and 70's, sat and pondered minimalism, got busted for taking photographs of the artwork, enjoyed learning about Georgia O'keeffe and other fine female artists in the Stieglitz circle of friends, and saw a bunch of boring ancient art that they spent a ton of money on, just to move it from the Louvre (some of it was cool. Napolean and Joshephine had a fine collection of expensive, decorative items, and the exhibit also displayed some interesting Egyptian art).

The exhibits were fantastic, and the architecture in the building was even MORE fantastic (only so because I can legally take pictures of the architecture, but not the art). The elevator featured a peep hole in the ceiling. The permanent collection wound around a 4-story high atrium, where Lil and I crashed for 5 minutes to catch our breath.
We did not get to the four levels of the permanent collection, so if anyone wants to make a trip with me, I'm all for going back. You drive. It took me 2 hours to get out of the city on Friday.

So check out additional pictures at "Me on Flickr" and write comments. I love comments :)

Beautiful Gardens


The botanical gardens in Richmond are beautimus! They have a huge place for kids to play, a live band, a Japanese garden, a huge greenhouse, and 2 places to eat. I highly recommend seeing it if you go to Richmond.

They had tons of orchids and cacti. See more pictures on "Me at flickr".

Spring is here!


It's still cold, but the crazy thunderstorms tell me that Spring is here!

AND! Fred got a job in Greenville!!! They offered him a position just 2 hours after his interview! This means he will move within the next month! Spring brings good things!

Not to mention weird skies. Here's another blow-your-mind photo of the sky outside of my apartment. BTW - I did NOT alter the colors in this photo!

Dragonflies to Come

The results of the snow days are up on etsy. I post a new pair everyday. That's 2 minutes of something to do for 16 days in a row.

Celebrate the upcoming season in style :)
