The little frogs are climbing out of the water and enjoying the sun. Others are still at the swimming stage.

Kansas Capital Visit
We fit in a visit to the state capital building. My Mother wasn't sure she had been inside before.

The foundation and basement...

Wichita Art Museum - Prairielike
Along with the paintings and other art, this Prairie installation at the Wichita Art Museum was more of an audio experience. It has speakers at the tops of those vertical wires. They emit different clicks and sounds at different intervals. The wires also move a little due to small motors at their base.
Overall, it sounds like the insects, rain and grasses moving in the breeze on the prairie!
Liza Lou's Gather (one million). Made with 9 million beads on 1 million wires, arranges in mini wheat shocks.

Coffee Choices in Har-Ber Village
In between rain showers, my mother, brother and I visited Har-Ber Village in Grove, OK.
In the mid 1800 - early 1900, there were a lot of coffee choices!
It's a pretty spot on Grand Lake with lots to see and gardens to wander.

Side Trip to Arkansas
I took a break from my OK trip to have lunch with a friend in Bentonville, AR. Afterward, I stopped at the square and visited the Walmart Museum at the first Walton's.

Alternative Skies
The blue skies in NE Oklahoma are a treat but the clouds bring a nice alternative too

Fenceline Rose
It's time for the rose that grows along our fence line. They are a lovely reminder of the sweet couple who lived in this area long before our house was here.
Link to wider view from a prior year.

One More Step...or Roll
Rocks have been one of our garden specialties. We were ready to remove some again and our 1989 wheelbarrow was having issues.
A new wheel and we are ready to go. Time to remove both the bed endcap stones and all the rocks that collect throughout the garden. Gradually, that is. Instead of weeding in the nice summer evenings, I'll be stone/rock hunting to prepare for a fresh tilling of the whole space.
