Cool Off at Delaware’s Wonderful Museums
If you’ve spent a lot of time creating a beautiful garden for your new home you’re probably pretty happy with our summer season so far. The long spring and relatively few days of super-hot temperatures have kept annuals and perennials fresh and strong, and the precipitation level has enabled us to enjoy lots of beach time balanced by indoor days when one can look out and see how wonderful everything looks after a good rain.
Unfortunately, we can count on brutal temps and cloying humidity ahead. If you still want to spend most of your time outside there are lots of great parks offering shady trails for walking and biking. But there are also so many fabulous museums where you can spend hours enriching your brain in air conditioned comfort.
Since we have friends and neighbors all over the state, I’ve spotlighted a few of my favorites...
