Petersen Rock Garden

This week I did quite a bit of weaving. Nan and Pop are now the proud owners of new pot holders.

This week The Mother made roasted fennel and hazelnut salad.

The Bigs also went to five grocery stores and a farm in order to get all the ingredients they needed for Thanksgiving. In store four The Mother enjoyed this veggie display.

On Sunday we went to Petersen Rock Gardens. From Visit Bend: “Petersen Rock Garden is one of those roadside attractions that defies description. You’ve just got to visit, and you’ll be glad you did. The garden started in 1935 as the pet project of Danish immigrant Rasmus Petersen. Petersen settled on a large piece of land off Highway 97 between Bend and Redmond and set about creating castles with moats, fountains, towers, bridges, even miniature models of famous buildings like the Statue of Liberty, all built from rocks, shells, bits of glass, and other found objects.” It was pretty cool.

And, had a pretty good piece of advice.
