Day and Night in the MFA

This Fall was filled with many events at the MFA. The large new Shapiro Family Courtyard has become a focal point in the new American wing.  Early in the morning the 'New American Cafe' serves breakfast. At lunch time there is a line to get a table and in the evening it can host receptions for large private parties.  The tall 'Lime Green Icicle Tower' by Chihuly stands guard with icy beauty mirroring itself in the glass wall day and night.

Splendor in the grass

After several years of neglect, the front lawn got removed and we got a new one.

The weather played along with many rainy days and now we are proud of this 

perfect American lush green giving the house a well needed lift.

and we are humming ".....life is moving oh-so fast,  I think we should take it slow,

rest our heads upon the grass and listen to it grow....."
