Wave Hill Rietveld Chair

They've raised the prices on the "signature Wave Hill gray" children's chair to $100. I should have got one when they were $65. The unpainted version is $80. The adult chair is $200. "Shipping may be as high as $150."

Cow-Roo



"Have you ever seen a cow-roo?"

"No. What is it?"

"It's a cow. With long ears. And he wears a hat. It's got little short fingers and tiny finger nails. And a baby raccoon on its back."

Update: It has fifty legs and a band-aid on its butt.

Off to feed the ducks

At Buttermilk Falls Inn there's a duck pond, organic vegetable farm, llamas, chickens, peacocks; a good breakfast, porch swings and a really nice spa. With kids, they put you in one of the (more expensive) cottages rather than in the main house. After a day of driving, walking in the woods and all over Dia's 240,000 square feet of exhibition space, it's worth it.
