Another Great Day at Grounds for Sculpture

Spring is here...

oh no doubt about it. 

 Despite the cool crisp air

 I know it to be true because

 I want to go for a bike ride. 

After seeing this one I thought I might decorate my own.

 

 

 

so I did.

 

The peacocks were strutting their stuff and dont you know

that dang peacock MOONED ME.

One more from Grounds

A Real Light Show at GFS

Maybe I'm having a little too much fun.

 I do like fun!

 

Night Walk at Grounds for Sculpture

With dear friends we decided to take a night walk and see the lights at the Grounds for Sculpture.

I had never been there at night so I would have to say it was pretty neat. 

 

 Truth is, the food at Rats was better than the walk...but it was great to work up a good appetite and sit down afterwards to a delicious meal with long time friends.

 

Thank you Kathy and Roger

 

 

Delaware Chews at Rats

 

Always a great day at the Grounds for Sculpture and even better when we throw worry and care to the wind and splurge at RATS.  With good friend and companion Kathy we took our seats and starting our giggling as soon as we met our young waiter Joe.  Kathy asked for a straw and I was so dumbfounded when it came out all fancy that I had to ask for one too just so I could get the image.  We shared a Duck Confite which was so delicious we could have ordered another.  A tart shell of Phylo, a slathering of brie, squash and duck and if I new exactly what else I might have to try to make it at home. It was that yummy.  We also shared a special shrimp salad sandwich on a hearty grain bread which came with a delightful potato salad, that was also just right and the sharing made our portions perfect.   We went one step further.  I had a special coffee while Kathy enjoyed a Lemon Tapioca dessert.

Of course after all that good food it was a requirement to stroll the grounds and take in the gardens and sculptures.  THANK YOU KATHY FOR INVITING ME.

Nudity and Feathers

Yesterday was a most beautiful and comfortable day in January for strolling the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ.  There have been some new installations since my last visit and I was surprised that so many were NUDE.  I had a few good giggles over it, especially the girl in the shower who sings when you get near.  Ok, I was also giggling when I looked up to see the girl naked on a swing high above our heads.  Truth be told I was giggling at the dancers on the hill too.  I guess I was giggling all day with my good friend Kathy.

We CHEWED at the Peacock Cafe inside the Domestic Arts Building.  We both had the Butternut Squash Soup which I enjoyed but Kathy felt was a little too sweet for her liking.  My grilled ham and brie sandwich was yummy.  Kathy enjoyed her roasted chicken sandwich.  Good fare at a reasonable price served  cafeteria style.  A great spot to enjoy a mid day break, refuel and be able to quickly get back on the grounds to see all that is there including those covered in feathers.
