Recently my sister Cynthia came out to visit me. I come from a family of seven children--she is Number Two and I am Number Four in the line-up. So what to do when a frost-bitten sister from the midwest shows up in sunny California? Take her to the Getty on a nice sunny day.
I always think the Getty's gardens are the most captivating part, right after the illuminated manuscripts. So we headed outside.
We also took in some of the other exhibits, but that sun! Those gardens! Kept pulling us outside.
We got some lunch and ate it on the patio.
Because it was just past the noon hour, the succulents looked especially rich. Seeing all their plantings makes me want to go home and rip out my front yard and start again. I just need their budget.
Another type of flora.
I liked the headband of the girl on the left--it's in the shape of some mini-bunny ears. Sort of.
This would make a great quilt--sunny yellow, vibrant green, rich blue in the sky.
Lots of people were out on the lawns, enjoying picnics. It was such a glorious day.
The plaza--where you enter, and exit.
What else did we do when she was here?
Cooked.

Made a quilt.
(Click on the link for the two-post story of her quilt.)
Enjoyed each other's company.

Having three sisters myself, I love this post, and my favorite picture is the one of the two of you at the Getty. It reminds my of the Irving Berlin song, "Sisters, Sisters." Do you know the one I'm talking about?
I'm still basking in the warmth of the visit! Thanks.
