Also on Bainbridge Island we went to the art museum where they were showing the work of two artists who work with cement. It was not all my sort of thing but i loved this one. The tree is cement and is set in a pool of water. The top is holding all sorts of growing plants and somehow there is a water system that causes tiny drops of water to fall continuously from the plants into the water, making a lovely peaceful sound.
We also had Arancini, pork over polenta, Panzanella salad, rapini, and a fabulous Tiramisu, which was my contribution. You may have guessed the theme was Italy. There were eight of us, we started with cheeses, salami, Prosecco and moved on to wine and Limoncello. It was a fab feast with delightful people and it lasted for four hours. I am still recovering two days later!
