Ford Estate Fairlane (and spring snow)

Yesterday we went with the grandchildren to The Henry Ford Estate, Fairlane. It had an indoor pool and bowling alley. Among other things. Today, we woke up to spring snow on all the flowers.

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...: I always forget what those blue flowers are called--I will have to look them up again. They are common here, but no so much in upstate NY. I love the stonework, too--but they house is truly huge with a swimming pool inside, (at one time), a ballroom, a bowling alley, three guest bedrooms in addition to the family bedrooms, and so on. HUGE! But interesting.

I think all the flowers that got snowed on survived.; April 8, 2009 at 10:05 AM
