bob and i are building an arts & crafts style dining
room table to seat 8 ~ that leaves plenty of room
for all you guys to come out and join in a meal,
even without the busy bee!

the nature conservatory ~





upon my visit to mpls this time around, the weather wasn't as balmy as i'd have liked. with temps below zero, my dear friend Karen suggested we visit the conservatory ~ having been ages since i last recalled being there, off we went.
teaming with life, the conservatory offers a beautiful view of plants, flowers and trees from countries all around the world. My only wish is that i would have remembered it later in life, like when i last lived there. a truly magical place, full of moisture, pungent smells, trickling water and serenity...i'd go there everyday if i could! If you live in the area, check it out ~ where as i don't support the zoo, you can easily skirt over it and bring some cash for the donation boxes.
