This piece of art needs a lot of explanation.
The City of Loveland owns millions and millions of dollars in artwork. They have potholes big enough to swallow a Smart Car, but they own priceless art. This is their latest piece. The main reason I am showing you this chunk of very expensive metal is that the brother of our neighbor when we lived in Loveland is one of the artists. I feel like I am using the term "artist" rather loosely. This monster is on the north side of the road at the major entrance into the city. Can I explain it? No, not really. I do know that the man named Loveland for whom the city was named was a railroad man. Perhaps that explains the railroad tracks. Maybe horses roamed wild at some point in history and that's what these blue/purple horses represent. I haven't a clue. But the oddest part is that the horses look like someone took tractor parts and stuck them to the horses instead of tossing them in the trash. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Perhaps you will be able to call this art.
We kept both girls today starting at 8:30 this morning. Today was ZoZo's day to be the opposite of an angel. And Hannah was very good. I had made her some tiny little pancakes for breakfast. She inhaled 9 of them while watching Umi Zoomi. We like those little creatures, too. Then finally Hannah needed to be allowed outside. Jerry raked up a pile of leaves for her to play in and with. After she scattered them, she'd say "Granddaddy, I need another pile of leaves." So he'd rake some more. He was starting to wear down a bit when her daddy came home for lunch and gave us a break.
Get ready. Get set. Jump!
Love those leaves!
Just resting before another jump.
Kids love leaves. Yes, they are dirty but we just had to let her play in them. It makes for good memories.
Tomorrow is our yearly dental check ups. Fun. Actually it's not bad. We really do like our dentist and have been with him since he opened practice many years ago.
