4th of July

Happy 4^th of July!

Brad and Trina arrived at the park last nite. Doug and B and I went to visit Maryhill historic site yesterday. A beautiful home overlooking the Columbia River Gorge in WA. Legend has it that the guy Sam Hill wanted to create an agricultural utopia here but he was a few miles to far east and it was too dry. However he built this home for his daughter. With close ties to Romania royalty many of the sculpture and art inside are Romania influenced.

Story goes that this is where What in “Sam Hill” is ?????. Therefore the photo you see here. However< it certainly fits our program given what the artist said:

This sculpture invites the viewer to feel the freedom we all feel when we roll around and play in the grass. “I created this piece to remind us to enjoy our lives, and make time to play, like we did so naturally as children. I chose yellow because it is a playful color and reminds one of the color of sunflowers, and the brightest days of life.”
