Good Morning Susan! We visited the Oxford Botanical Garden a few months ago. It’s been used by the college uninterrupted since the mid 1600’s and the ‘glass Houses’ contained #BotanicalWonders

Arts contrast 2. I volunteered with my group at a craft fair in a smallish community centre. The place was absolutely ALIVE with people of all ages, conversation about art and craft and beauty…and I’m still thinking what has gone wrong in the other space.

2 day arts contrast. I presented to one person in a gigantic room at our downtown library(we just talked) She shook my hand and told me her name and all about her writing and family, at times, becoming breathless with the effort. (Do you think the screen was big enough?
