Before I tell you about my road trip on April 30th,
I must tell you we had another snappy road trip this past weekend.
My new header picture might give you a clue as to the location of last weekend's trip
We visited Angel Madi's favorite sissy and BIL and their kitties.
I still have to go thru thea lot of photos.

We took a short road trip to visit the
Whirligig Park in Wilson, NC, about 1 hour from home.
I'm thrilled to report it was a windy day so perfect weather to see all the
parts spinning.

Made entirely out of reflectors. At night the park has spot lights around the park.
I'd love to see this at night with all the reflectors shining.

Dearest Aunty HiC,

I'd love to see this at night with all the reflectors shining.
Nearly all of the Whirligigs in the park are shown below... the park amazing.
Each piece of art was beautifully constructed, the colors amazing and made from
recycled materials. Mr. Simpson was truly a visionary and artist.

Dearest Aunty HiC,
Mom just showed me the pictures of Frisco and Mia! They are beautiful kitties.
Now, if you’re my Aunty HiC, and their GrandMeow, that would make me their second cousin, twice removed, right? Ha! 😹
I want to tell you a secret, I love all my canine siblings, but Dakota is my favorite. She’s so sweet, gentle, and patient; it’s hard to believe she endured such a rough life before she came to live on The Hill.
We are family!
❤️ Kat Your Feline Nephew
Dearest Nephew,
Kissin' cuz toooo Kat! Thank you Mia and Frisco are very sweet.
Your photo with Dakota made my Day. I can tell she loves you as much as you love her. I think she surely lives in the moment. Her move to the hill was the first day of the best days of her life. You are family
Lovingly your Aunty

That's an interesting park...would love to visit. Also love the photo of Kat and Dakota...so cute.
ReplyDeleteWill resurrect the 'Madi Hug Scarf' this morning. It's cold out there!
Wow! I bet those spinners would be going all the time here in WNY where it seems to always be windy!
ReplyDeleteNow you have Mom wanting to do a road trip to that whirlagig place too - it looks like so much fun. The "donkey" lady up the street has a whole bunch of smaller whirlagigs all over her yard. She gets them at flea markets in Missouri. Mom wants to get one, but she would have to twist Dad's arm:)
ReplyDeleteWoos - Lightning, Misty, and Timber
Great photos. That looks like a fun place to visit. XO
ReplyDeleteLove all the whirligigs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun park!! What an original art concept!
ReplyDeleteI have to go to that park! I LOVE Whirligigs! Too bad it is such a long way from here!
