Horsing Around


This past Saturday three of us went out in the noonday sun (a record breaker) to visit the Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis.  I wanted to see a horse made of twigs and bark I’d first seen years ago and never forgotten.  The artist made the bigger-than-lifesize piece and then cast the pieces in bronze and re-assembled it.  Amazing and clever.



But I had a bad reaction to the heat and so didn’t go to the Memorial Day ceremony on Monday, as the temperature climbed to one hundred (breaking a record) and I feared another bad reaction.  I've gone to that ceremony for several years, and found it very moving.  Getting older is not always fun.
