And it is a wonderful example of what really, really wealthy people USED to do with their money. Really. Whenever I am in New York City, I'm struck by the legacy of the Rockefellers and the Carnegies...they endowed libraries, for crying out loud.
Doesn't it seem like nowadays -- the really rich people are mostly interested in avoiding taxes and hiding their money in offshore bank accounts?
Anyway -- in Chicago -- there was the rich Morton family...(yes, of Morton salt). 1700 acres of the most beautiful trees, plants, they have a large Maze...a wonderful playground for children...
And -- this year -- they will have THIS art installation...
This little girl was just as fascinated as we were...
Rhonda took this picture of me -- leaning against the crocheted tree...
Don't you think this is something we could do in our own yards??
Oh I am so excited, haven't been there in 20 years and will be going next week, will the tree cozy still be there do you think?
