Round Museum

Around town bike sharing is available in a lot of locations, but this store front window doesn't appear very accessible. First, break the plate glass, and then unhook it from the wall? Do we need to return it to this location?

When the Cobb salad was invented at the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant in the 1930s, the greens, tomatoes, eggs and other ingredients were chopped and arranged in rows on the plate. But, you know, why go crazy with the chopping? Just wrap everything together in a Round and tie it up in a bacon bow.

The Lantana aculeata is a flower and a bouquet all rolled up in one. The tiny aromatic umbel will change color as the cluster matures, resulting in two or three-colored combinations. It's the perfect size for a dollhouse vase!

Wandering the paths of Glenstone, you may come upon three mysterious stone houses seemingly abandoned in the forest. If you're curious like Goldilocks and creep up to the door for a peek, you'll see one house is an open room, one has a wall with concentric holes, and one is filled juuuuust right with a giant Round boulder made from hair and clay.

Strolling through Pittston, PA you will come upon a dozen sculptures sprinkled around the library and along Main Street. Part of an arts initiative called the Art Loop Trail, local artists such as Whimsy the Welder have contributed their creativity for all to enjoy.

Out in the yard you may not expect to see a cul-de-sac of tiny clay chimneys sprouting from the ground, and yet here they are. Who's the architect? And what sort of neighborhood is under construction? The female digger bee or miner bee spends almost a full work day excavating the cylindrical tunnel as a nest for their egg. Once the process is complete, they'll cap the chimney with a plug of packed clay. Then you'll just have to wait for your new neighbors to hatch. Sure hope they're nice!
