beautiful place in the day
and at night
when you walk in, there is the pendulum below. super amazing.
we tried to go see THE telescope, but the line was an hour and a half wait. we promised we would go back another time (probably on a weekday) to see it
and of course, we saw the show which was really really surprising very good. we had a wonderful time. i have a day dream of my friends hanging out there with a picnic.
on sunday, i went with some friends to the arboretum in san gabriel valley. they were having this "LA Garden Show: Living Green".
i bought two lovely grape vines and two beautiful blackberry vines for the fence on the side of my house. i am optimistic. will plant next weekend and let you know!
we also toured the gardens. lovely! there were peacocks everywhere!

and back!
not only do they hang out at the arboretum, but they also hop the fence and chill in the neighborhood. they are gorgeous and it is unreal you find them on people's lawns, sitting there, surveying the area. (wonder what the neighborhood dogs think!)
the lovely cottage- Queen Anne's Cottage
the awesome looking catawampus
i had injured my foot the day before (don't ask) and i was hesitant to go.
my dear friend was good enough to push me around in a wheelchair so i didn't have to hop along the entire day (i was very reluctant for many reasons, but he can be very stubborn)
here is a shot of my view of him
special thanks to bill who pushed me around in the heat all day. i'm really glad we went.
