Off to look more at the Heck Andrews House now, it is a gorgeous building.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-10545017152458551352016-02-02T23:18:52.580-05:002016-02-02T23:18:52.580-05:00Waht a lovely day away from home and the laptop, t...Waht a lovely day away from home and the laptop, to boot! You've got to love that sunshine and that amazing presentation! Wow, I could never have been an astronaut--couldn't even master a child's level French are TEN years of taking it! That woman is incredible. What an amazing journey to get where she is now. She would be perfect for a Mars trip! yikes. <br /><br />BTw, I had to chuckle as you wrote you mentioned the museum was hosting "ASTROLOGY Days!" I was thinking, "a science museum no less?!..Well, maybe they do that in the Carolinas, I don't know!" LOL. then I realised it was a simple typo. Too too funny, dear Mary! <br /><br />That house (With the photos and details in the link as well) STILL looks incredible, even if there's a huge and no doubt expensive undertaking of renovation inside. I am always amazed at the attention to details people put in architecture with such rudimentary tools centuries ago. <br /><br />Ahh...yes the labours of gardening. Pots are always a good idea and for us, our only option when having a front patio and no garden per se. I so can't wait to see fresh flowers again. <br /><br />hope you enjoyed your time off. It looks like you most certainly did!

If we didn't have such pesky squirrels that destroy every thing that isn't made of concrete or stone, I'd love to add one of these to our garden. Love the pretty architectural lines.

Love the springtime look in the air with all the people lounging about outside the museum. The astronaut talk would have been very interesting. I'm currently reading a book by our Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield, and as you've mentioned, the training is rigorous and wide. <br />The Heck house looks like someplace I'd love to live. If I can't have Downton Abbey, I'll settle for this one!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-25742942936474214222016-02-01T16:02:35.014-05:002016-02-01T16:02:35.014-05:00What a fascinating visit to the museum.

A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I love the cobalt blue flower pots and think your idea of gardening in pots is a good one. I made a snowman yesterday and my back and shoulders are feeling it today! The spring blooms are beautiful! Happy February to you Mary.
