Last night we watched Hidalgo- if you love horses like I do, you can't help but love this movie. In the description about how the movie was made, they used over 800 horses- and each one a beauty (there were 4 Hildagos all spray painted to match). It was a bit hard to believe that a man encountering so much difficulty could actually do as well as our main character did (can't tell you what happened now can I). This morning we watched Hellboy- Mark had been wanting to see this one ever since he heard about it. I must say that all of the rave reviews were on the mark. Again, it is a bit hard to believe that the conclusion could come as quick as it did, but they are constrained by budget and time when making a movie...

Today we took a trip out the the Olbrich Gardens for one of their many plant sales. This time it was an iris sale, and there was every color under the rainbow with some a rainbow of colors. Mark chose "Toasted Watermellon," a rust orange bearded iris. I chose "Silverado," a very pale and delicate blue bearded. When we were checking out, we picked up two unknowns- I can't wait to see what they turn out to be!

When we got home there was a message from Natalie to go Orchid hunting around town. I never new there were so many large growers just around Madison. We had a great time- Natalie knows so much about plants- and gave me the idea to create a terrarium.

That evening we watched the Bourne Supremacy with Burr & Natalie- we also saw Heather and Matt having a night out without their little one, while their parents were in town. A good movie, but a bit confusing since I hadn't watched the first movie in quite a long time, and shaky camera movement is always jaring.
