On Earth Day Ron & I spent a few hours walking through the Oregon Gardens located in Silverton Oregon. It is a "dog friendly" place and so much has developed there since it was established years ago.
It is especially fun for children with all kinds of structures and experiments for them to participate in.
The new "Hotel Resort" has helped the Gardens to survive and is now becoming a place on the map!
We watched people dancing to the fun little band that played. The music provided polkas, two step, the waltz and the quadrille which was danced by our grandparents in the day when neighbors gathered over the weekend to have a dance. My parents told me that you were either playing an instrument, dancing or eating from the abundant pot-luck that the women brought for the weekend. Some of the people at the Gardens knew these old dances. It was fun to watch.

Very nice! I only wished it hadn't been so rainy the day we were there.
