Enchanted Forest: Down The Rabbit Hole


The very strange adventures of Alice... shrinking and growing.
Sounds like the modern everyday woman to me.

The gorgeous playhouse exhibition at Norfolk Botanical Gardens is only a few days away from closing. We have visited Jack and the Beanstalk, The Crooked Man, Red Riding Hood's Grandmother, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Old MacDonald's Farm. Only three more to go and this installment takes us on a wild adventure with strange mushrooms, rabbits wearing top hats and grinning cats that only show their bright smiles.


Looking in... what will they find? The Queen of Hearts or perhaps the Knave.

The house is bright, covered with red hearts and hats and grins and yellow-orange eyes and inside things are larger or smaller than they seem.. actually, nothing looks to be as it seems! I think this was the most colorful house of them all. And the mushrooms... the biggest most adorable mushrooms you could ever hope to see. I love how the little boy with the baseball cap just stood and contemplated those fake mushrooms for what seemed like forever.

This is my entry for Ruby Tuesday... and what great ruby slippers there were inside. NO. Wait! That was another story, the one with a dog and a yellow brick road and a scarecrow I believe. So enjoy and if you happen to live in the Tidewater area... hurry on to the gardens to see them before they disappear off into children's back yards.
