Remember

Many of you may recognize, or remember, the name Frank Lloyd Wright. A renowned architect, one of his homes is located in Spring Green, Wisconsin. We took a tour there, and I enjoyed this sweep of steps leading up to a grand patio overlooking the Wisconsin River Valley on which the home is built. On the patio, it's easy to remember simpler times, lazy summer days, and the gifts of a man who left so many lovely architectural structures as his legacy.

  6. I do know FLW. My sister gave me a tour decades ago of his hometown somewhere outside of Chicago, the name of which escapes me. I too like his style, though I read somewhere that his complicated rooflines were prone to leakage. Glad to know even the geniuses had their vulnerabilities!
