I took this photo on one of my morning walks last week. I am actually not sure what kind of tree it is - maybe a plum? But our street is lined with several of them......notice the old bird nest....
The highlight of our week was going to Art in Bloom at the Saint Louis Art Museum. Local florists are invited to create flower arrangements to mirror/match/echo a specific work of art. There were about twenty displays scattered around the three floors and Emily, Beckie, Steve, me and a friend from church named Cinnamon went Friday morning. Below are some of the displays. The first one is with the piece of art behind it. Since the painting is fairly simple, the flowers mirrored the colors.
Honestly, to look at some of the floral arrangements and the art that inspired them and to see the connection was a bit of a stretch but they were still pretty and it was a fun outing.

Here we all are with an arrangement inspired by a piece of armor (um, yeah, I don't see the similarity at all!)
This is an African tribal hat that wasn't one of the art pieces but I thought the many birds were cute so I took a photo....
It was a fairly wall-to-wall week full of rather mundane things - we drove down to Open Door Animal Sanctuary on Monday to get more dog food, I attended my monthly Happy Hooker meeting on Wednesday, we had dinner with our next door neighbor friends Ed and Mona Friday night, it was our temple baptistry week Saturday morning and I "babysat" Lucy, Quinn and Larkin Saturday night at their place while Emily, Joe, Noah, and Elise (who came in from Columbia) participated in a Trivia Night. While they were taxing their brains, the grandkids and I watched "Monster's Inc" and I watched "Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" again after they went to bed. Steve and I signed up for Paramount Plus and started watching the new season of "Picard". SO good! And so satisfying for us long-time Next Generation fans.
