Brew up a cup of tea and enjoy the Book Tattoos . . .

Quarantine Barbie

In recent years, Barbie has become more responsive to changes in society. Artist Tonya Ruiz has helped her and Ken along to make Barbie more relevant in quarantine times.
Once upon a time . . .

Once upon a time, when libraries were open, we traveled to the Cleveland Public Library’s main branch – not really a branch. This treasure in the heart of downtown is the tree from which all of the branches spring.
There we found not only impressive collections of books, but also wonderful architecture, sculpture, prints and special objects.
These staircases are in the main hallway of the library,
Right inside the main entrance this lovely globe chandelier hangs.
To focus on just one of the special collections, there is a room of chess sets. This one is my favorite.
Near the gift shop (yes, the library has a gift shop) you will find a huge piggy bank. I am told that it is suitable for riding and photo ops.
I will save the magical Eastman Reading Garden for another post.
I am heartsick.
Tra la, it’s May!
May 27, 2020We have been walking in the parks around here and enjoy keeping tabs on the baby Canada geese – who are getting really big – and are so far managing to evade the snapping turtles in the area. Yesterday we were entertained by a family of wood ducks as they had an evening snack.
We do not have nesting coots close by, but I did get a kick out of this fellow. . .
