I am planning to go again, just to check out the plants. <br /><br />I've been carrying the list with me, but, too often, I am driving when I see possible candidates for a photo and it's not always convenient to stop to take a picture! :DBlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-18002756330267297532019-07-11T12:59:12.332-07:002019-07-11T12:59:12.332-07:00There were sounds of children laughing, as well, A...There were sounds of children laughing, as well, Anne (and some crying, too, of course!). This museum is fairly child-friendly, with activities they can do, but, I think it was even more child friendly when my daughter was little. Back then, they had a children's play/dress up area based on an autobiography of a Chinese American woman who grew up in California during the 1930s. The exhibit included a replica of the kitchen/dining room of the house, with an "ice box" type of fridge, circa 1930s stove, play food, etc. The family also owned a shop and a restaurant and the shop area had dress up clothes and daughter could spend hours playing cook/waitress in the restaurant area! It was so much fun for her. She loved going to that museum as a child. :) They don't have that exhibit, any more.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-85219481140130480262019-07-11T12:26:05.068-07:002019-07-11T12:26:05.068-07:00Now that's the part of the museum that would i...Now that's the part of the museum that would interest me the most. Well done on getting two photos for the hunt as well.

I love to learn about new plants and how they are used. My favourites are the aromatic plants and I've come across many in my travels, as well as the ones which grow wild around where I live.<br />We had a city journey today as DH needed to see a periodontist. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the wild flowers along the side of the highway on our long journey. The colour combinations of the drifts of flowers and coloured grasses were so perfect that a gardener couldn't have created such beauty. Then on the way back I saw a field which had vast swathes of blue flowers. I guessed that they might be vipers bugloss or vetch.<br />Now we are back home, I heard a Whippoorwill in our yard for the first time in years!Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-66233357792478608332019-07-10T16:47:25.253-07:002019-07-10T16:47:25.253-07:00That is very true.

There is a lot to see and absorb. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-72243540796660384072019-07-10T16:37:31.455-07:002019-07-10T16:37:31.455-07:00It was fun!

Sometimes when you've spent a lot of money to get into somewhere, you feel as if you should at least see the whole thing once. That means that you don't see any of it very well.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-40778085575384995532019-07-10T14:52:03.004-07:002019-07-10T14:52:03.004-07:00That looks like a really fun day.
