On a hilltop overlooking Madison's west side, this park was the farm and personal retreat of former University Professor Edward T. Owen. Today the 96 acres have been reclaimed by prairies and oak savannas.
I've been noticing a number of quonset huts as I make my way to work on the East side every morning. Here's a look at some. I've seen too many to add. I'd love to come across a quonset home. I'll up date you if I do.
The weather is finally starting to warm. There is plenty of snow to melt but the sun is warm and I can feel spring in the air.
Looking through an old Life magazine, I found this ad. It's from July 1962. How times have changed and our perception of safety.
So another week has gone by. Seems time is just flying past this summer. I've started two new paintings and have been drawing every day. Here are a few of the things I've been working on. I took a short trip up to Poynette to explore and found this lovely bit of woods.
Someone told me these flowers reminded them of sculpted creamcicles. what a great way to kick off summer.
