A Day Off of the Farm

Blue Reeds

Yesterday we took a day off from farming. Oh, sure, the animals got fed, watered, turned out and herded in, but I spent the afternoon out playing with a dear woman who is in town for only a few days. We meandered into Nashville and found the Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum. Without wasting words, here is a small sampling of photos from our adventure discovering the Chihuily at Cheekwood blown glass sculpture exhibit, featuring works by renowned artist Dale Chihuily. Since the photos hardly do justice to the artworks, we recommend that folks who are able to do so take an afternoon off to explore the exibit in person.
