Hello All,
Thinking of
all my relatives and friends in FL and hoping/praying all are safe.
Our weekend
was wonderful! Mine actually started at
Noon on Friday (my bosses gave me the afternoon off to get a jump start on a
birthday weekend!!). Saturday we met
Colin and Mailing for lunch and then headed over to Grounds for Sculpture. What an amazing place! 42 acres of beautifully maintained grounds
with a ton of sculptures all over the place.
Some are absolutely huge, others are rather small. We wandered around for 2.5 – 3 hours and did
not see everything. Definitely a place
to return. Here are some of my favorite
pictures.

This one was called Breadline - Fletch at the rear of the line
Love this one! that's Fletch standing on the ground in the middle
Look at the detail!
Sheep!!

There were peacocks on the grounds...I liked this albino one.
There are so many other great sculptures, but these are some of my favorites.
We didn’t
leave the grounds until after 4, and the NJ Sheep & Fiber Festival,
although close – 15 or so miles, closed at 5.
So, I did not make it there this year…but I hope to next year.
I did manage
to get almost to the heel of my first Nutkin sock.
Only about 6
more rows till I start the heel!
Sunday late
afternoon found me back on the trail alongside the canal. There was not as much traffic on the water or
trail as I had expected for such a beautiful day. I did see a lot of turtles basking in the
sun. Here is one granddaddy!!
Now it is
back to work. Hope everyone has a
beautiful week.
What a great place! I wish their website did a better job for them. After your last post mentioning it, I went to see what it was, and was thoroughly confused and bored. Your post is a far better promo!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a nice birthday weekend! Grounds for Sculpture is indeed beautiful and I love how you've inserted family into the sculptures. I haven't been there for several years, but think I need to add it to my fall list. Hope your week is a good one!
ReplyDeleteThose sculptures are fun, and I love your photos. The two ladies on the bench are a hoot, and my goodness, they are huge.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fabulous place to spend the day. Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! Though it's almost creepy how large some of those people sculptures are, you know?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect birthday weekend. You deserve it. :-)
I love the sculpture interactions. WOW. Very cool idea
ReplyDeleteThe sock looks great! I never stuck with that pattern long enough to see how it looks! I enjoyed the sculptures!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh .... that sculpture garden is awesome. Hope Fletch was able to get some soup and bread after waiting in that long line.
ReplyDeleteI had to search for your family in some photos. Those sculptures are a lot bigger than I was expecting! Wow. Thanks for the glimpse.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time!
ReplyDeletethat is a lot of knitting you got accomplished, I'm impressed!
