The Friendly Deer of Crystal Bridges

We had a ton of fun working out of an Airbnb in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and this week we're back at it in Bella Vista, Arkansas. It's a heck of a lot cheaper to do it here, let me tell you.


Lydia pretty much gets silently guilted every day now by a hungry cat face while she's trying to work.


Nom nom nom nom nom




I'm going to town on those free vaccination Krispy Kremes now.


Today we returned to Bentonville and did a walk on the very nicely developed Crystal Bridges Art Trail. They're rolling with that Walton family Walmart money so quality can be expected.




The local deer were clearly used to people.


Caution: Deer Crossing


"Maman

1999
Bronze, stainless steel, and marble

Like an umbrella against a storm, Maman shelters this space, looming over us in a protective, yet mysterious way. "Maman" is the French word for "Mom". The image of the spider refers to the artist's mother, whom she has described as her closest friend. Though spiders can inspire fear for some people, Bourgeois thought of the spider as caring, helpful, and hard-working-the way she remembered her mother."








Who wouldn't want to explore more of the area with enticing names like "Blowing Springs" and "Slaughter Pen".


This car was covered in coins.


We just started The Americans as our "watch while eating dinner" show.


I have to watch shows with one eye and Lydia with the other because she will just secretly pass out while we're watching and not say anything. Low energy!

Vaccination Finally Pays Off

We took a bit of a detour from today's excursion to claim a prize which is rightfully ours: doughnuts!




People like doughnuts in Fenton a whole lot it turns out. We tabled this plan as we had other things to attend to.



I can't drive past Bourbon, Missouri without imagining their water tower full of booze.





I love small town classic ice cream joints. I don't know what it is about ice cream and burger joints that makes them immune to the ravages of time.



















There was a man collecting driftwood pretty ardently on the shore.



The mill at Dillard Mill State Historic Site was built in 1908 and is one of Missouri's best-preserved examples of a water-powered gristmill.





The trail was flooded so we milled around a bit and went home.





We hit Krispy Kreme again on the way back to St. Louis and free sugary victory was ours!



Never felt healthier!
