A local nursery - Otts Exotic Plants in Schwencksville PA - has a mound that is covered with pansies in spring and chrysanthemums in the fall. Who can resist driving 30 minutes to drink in such a beautiful sight? This is their fall display.
Have you ever seen a mum mountain?

If you get a chance, please don't miss the opportunity to visit here. We could have spent a full day and still would have missed so much!
A visit to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West
There's so much to see here. This post focuses on some of the clothing made by Native American artisans. These pictures fail to capture the intricacy and artistry required to maake such exquisite clothing!
Hunkayapi celebrates the Lakota naming ceremony
This statue is found outside of the Prairie Edge store in Rapid City, South Dakota. I commemorates one of the sacred ceremonies for indiginous Lakota people. I am not of Native American heritage but when I did a bit of research it seems that this ceremony is a way of passing down Lakota heritage to the next generation. As I understand it, it seems that the older woman holds a position somewhat like a godparent toward the young girl in the ceremony. If you are Lakota, please feel free to leave a comment explaining this to those of us who would like to learn more about Hunkayapi.
