Today is the PARK part of our Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park adventure. [Yesterday was the SCULPTURE part. Learn more here.] The park never seems to end which makes it a fascinating place to explore– as the following photos will show you. Or so I hope. Enjoy!

[Even though I said that I was only going to post to my blog once a week this summer, I’m going to disregard my plan and turn this adventure into two parts. Today – the SCULPTURE part of the park. Tomorrow – the PARK part of the park.]
Last weekend we went to Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park. We’ve been there at other times of year, but we’ve never managed to see it in the summer. Misplaced priorities, I do believe.
If you’ve never been to an outdoor art museum with oversized sculptures juxtaposed against nature, it is a fascinating way to spend an afternoon. Even more so when nature is putting on a perfect summertime show of green hills, blue skies & white cumulus clouds. Very unique.
We walked part of the park & drove our car around to see even more of it. There were three trails for hiking through the woods on the edge of the park, but we didn’t have the time to do any of them. Something to do on our next visit, eh? And I’ll take photos, of course.

a few thoughts while I drink my tea…
:: I didn’t wake up this morning until 8:30 a.m. I’m usually up around 6:00 a.m. but somehow I slept in this morning. We had a very busy weekend so maybe I’m catching up on my sleep. For the first time in weeks, I feel refreshed + focused.
:: It’s wet & overcast gray here today. The temps are about what I’d expect for Spring– in the 60s. Tomorrow’s weather prediction is for sunshine, but today I’m sitting inside the house in semi darkness while enjoying the sound of spring rain tapping on the windows. Peaceful.
:: Looking outside I’m reminded of how most of my days looked when I was studying at the University of Exeter in Devon, England. Lush + green + ever so gray. There was something wonderful & reckless about the flora around that university. Beautiful, really.
:: I made myself a pot of tea this morning. I’m usually a coffee in the morning girl. But once in a while when the weather gets a certain way, I pull my little blue teapot off the shelf and make myself a proper cuppa reminiscent of my adventures in the UK. With milk + sugar, of course.
:: I have nothing planned for this week. Not. one. thing. Even for me, an introvert who likes to spend hours on end by myself, that’s unusual. If the past is any clue about how this week will go, I’ll be writing & reading & researching my hours away. There are worse ways to spend your time.

I’m feeling tired this week.
No energy for writing posts– or doing much of anything else.
While I admit that it is pretty outside now, there’s too much pollen in the air for my liking.
My eyes itch. My sinuses hurt. And I’m grumpy.
So I’ll be taking some allergy meds to manage my symptoms and lying low for the next week or two.
Take care everyone. See ‘ya later.
