Philadelphia Freedom

Well I'm back from seven days of business in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, while our hotel was right in the historical district, I had little time to go site seeing. I did get the one thing in that I wanted to see (of course) - the Liberty Bell. I don't know what I was expecting, but it is in an enclosed area across the street from Independence Hall. A long hallway has stations talking about the Bell, its history and legacy which really was interesting.

I also had a chance to go around (outside) Independence Hall, Betty Ross house and the Old City Hall. It was fun to play tourist for a few hours.

This sculpture was in a passageway through to a courtyard in the middle of the old city hall...

Anyway I feel a need to get back into my "routine" and my garden girl is telling me I need to start thinking about blossoms for the front of the house! I'm looking forward to bringing in some color (I was amazed how much everything had grown over a week - including the dandelions )....
