First of all, I need to apologize to blogger Rebecca for not telling her I was in town. I didn’t tell anybody. My family kept scheduling impromptu activities around my nephew’s wedding. I’ll just say I thought Madison was a delightful city and share some memories.
The Sunday farmers market at the capital was amazing. I walked the circuit twice.
The university’s “dementia-friendly” Chazen Museum was also pretty amazing. I am sharing “L’Amante,” by Beth Cavener, “Typewriter Eraser,” by Claes Oldenburg, “Thread Landscapes,” by Amanda McCavour, and “Are a Hundred Playing You? Or Only One?” by Xiang Jing. (I agree. That title gives no clue to the meaning of the mesmerizing porcelain sculpture.)
The giant birds were outside a housing complex near our hotel. The illuminated quote from painter Georgia O’Keeffe was inside the hotel, a former paint factory with a paint-and-painters theme. The red letters spell out the name of the hotel. (I needed my grandson to point that out to me.)

A truck full of sweet corn!!!! Thank you for a great visit to this great city.
Have you been there? I liked it a lot.
loving the museum photos (esp. the one with the word “indigo” picked out). What did they mean by “dementia friendly”? (What did that involve–did they say?) And yes, what a magnificent farmer’s market!
I do hope your precautions mean you don’t catch the plague.
Thank you for your advice on masks. I do not have plague symptoms yet, and I think I am going to be OK. I sure was worried and wore a mask more than most people and ate outside a lot. … I didn’t get to experience dementia-friendly myself. Wondering the same thing. … I didn’t notice till now the word indigo was in the O’Keeffe quote! That’s the name of our lovely hotel! Thanks for opening my eyes. As usual.
Yes, looks like a city to visit. Wonderful pictures of the art exhibit. Fun to see that Eraser piece, which we have actually seen in person, at the Colby College Art Museum in Waterville, Maine. We went with our young nephew, who had no idea what it was. 😉
What’s that? A traveling typewriter eraser?
