“THE WORLD GETS SMALLER EVERYDAY, BUT IT’S STILL BIG ENOUGH TO GET LOST.”
Music in the Air
One thing that caught my attention almost immediately was an assortment of wind chimes that hung in the pine trees dotting the garden. We walked the grounds to a natural song that wafted in the air. A tune both original and that no one else would ever hear. The displays included everything from statues of Adam and Eve to floral arrangements of ducks, cacti and more. I listened to the windy tunes as we walked the garden taking many pictures and enjoying the morning. After discovering everything the hilltop had to offer, we made our way to the land of Oz.
Fields of Blue
As we boarded the tram for the next stop it began to rain. We passed beautifully manicured shoulders and random exhibits as we wound down to the edge of the valley. The tram came to a stop near a pair of thatched gondolas and the rain increased greatly. We jumped off the tram and ran to the cover of the gondola and observed our surroundings.
The rain was heavy and coated everything outside the cover of the gondola. The gondolas were in a small wooded area that sat on the edge of a rather large hydrangea field. It was the first, and probably the only time I would ever see, an entire field of hydrangeas. It was captivatingly beautiful and I couldn’t help but draw images of chapter 8 in the Wizard of Oz, the deadly poppy field. Though they were not poppies and definitely not deadly, I couldn’t help but imagine the new band of friends skipping through a field of similar beauty. Feeling youthful and energetic, Diem and I ran into the fields and frolicked in the rain. To read this full story click here.
