A PERFECT DAY -- PART 5

Just as I was getting comfortable, my daughter texted me to say there was an exhibit of miniatures in the upstairs gallery. She attached a picture of these tiny wine bottles that actually had wine in them and real corks. That convinced me to muster up my strength and join her, and I'm so glad I did.

The exhibit turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit. I'm in awe at how the artist(s) who created these miniatures managed to craft such tiny details. These pictures do not do them justice at all.






















































































I am so, so, so grateful to the Lord for enabling me to enjoy this perfect day and the company of my very special daughter. It was a real gift that I would never have thought possible at this stage of my life. 

A PERFECT DAY - PART 4



The ground level of the museum was where I decided to park while my daughter went up to the second floor to check out the gallery. I told her to text me if there was anything up there she thought I would love.








A PERFECT DAY -- PART 3


The vegetable garden included a fun storybook walk of Beatrix Potter's "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny." By then, however, it was starting to get really hot, and I was petering out and did not have it in me to go around and read all the pages of the story. Instead, I took a rest in the shade before tackling the indoor exhibits.




 


A PERFECT DAY -- PART 2


We walked through flower gardens and a veggie garden, and saw several beautiful statues in addition to the lego animals in my previous post. 

I took too many pictures to post them all, but these were my favorite flower and statue ones. I was even able to capture a butterfly. Can you spot it?
