A visit to Benson Sculpture Park

Robert and I celebrated our wedding anniversary by visiting
the park. We went in the Van and stopped at a quiet reservoir
for lunch.  We had been there before, but I cannot recall
the name.  In any case, we had a quiet picnic in the Van
watching the fisher-folk and kyakers.

After lunch we went to the sculpture park.  Amazingly for
April first, it was almost too hot to really enjoy the park. 
However, we did walk through and admire, laugh at and
question the sculptures.  When we thought we'd covered
the whole park, we noticed that on the other side of the
street was another park, at least as big as the one we had
just been through.  It had a few sculptures, but obviously
will eventually fill up.

In any case, there are many really fantastic sculptures and
some weird ones, too.  We both were very impressed
and it was a lovely way to celebrate 25 years together!

Today, happily, it is raining.  We had no rain the whole
month of March.  We are very, very dry.  Although there
is always the fear of flood if it rains too  much; the fear
of fire when it is this dry is even worse.
