Rosemary is Sage

This year I managed to bring my Rosemary plant in before it succumbed to the elements and it is now thriving.   When I’m feeling the need for the fresh smell of plants, Rosemary is there and just brushing my hand across the leaves produces that wonderful fragrance. 
 
This summer the entire nursery pot was put into the container with other herbs.  When it came time to bring it inside, I just popped the pot out and brought it in.  Rosemary doesn’t like its roots disturbed.  By keeping it in the same pot on the move from outside to inside, those roots remained happy.  I also cut back the tops by one-third before bringing it inside.  Now it is adding new growth.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

This fall we took a trip to Seattle since we had never visited that city except as a way-point through the airport on our way somewhere else.  We took in all the sights a tourist could want:  the Space Needle, a harbor cruise, Pike Place Market, a Wine & Waterfalls tour to Woodinville, museums, the aquarium, and many fine meals.  There is so much to do in this city. 

What I didn't expect was the enjoyable hours we spent at the Chihuly Garden and Glass right under the Space Needle.  I was familiar with Dale Chihuly's work since it is featured on the Mendota Wall in the Kohl Center at UW-Madison.  

The tour begins in a room that shows the early objects that influenced Mr. Chihuly and showcases just a few of his many collections with Native American blankets and baskets.  
The remaining rooms highlight dramatic displays of glass. 
And then the gardens are a true inspiration of color, plant combinations, and glass shapes.  
Even the gift shop was inspirational and an easy place to get carried away with all the wonderful items.  Luckily I had no more room in my suitcase.
