Shaw's Garden in Spring

I love Shaw's Garden (AKA Missouri Botanical Garden) I "grew up" there---my parents, grandparents took us weekly because we lived in the neighborhood. I vowed this year to go at least once each season which I have done.

The Garden is 150 years old this year. In honor of the anniversary, they plan on having a floral clock which volunteers were busy planting last week.
We missed the cherry blossoms in the Japanese Garden, but the bulbs were magnificent.




I always enjoy having lunch at the Sassafras Cafe---a "green" cafe which has delicious food.

Dave had a Chef's Salad while I had Chicken and Bean Quesdilla---delicious!

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
