Do Something This Weekend

Man (and Woman) cannot live by real estate alone, so get out and do something this weekend.

My choice? The annual Art in Bloom celebration at the Saint Louis Art Museum. From now through Sunday, the museum is anticipating spring by displaying professionally designed live floral arrangements inspired by selections from its permanent collection.
Grab a guide to the exhibition when you enter the Grand Hall and just follow the fragrances through galleries featuring Renaissance art, Impressionists, the Asian galleries, decorative arts and the modern and contemporary collections.
A bonus: A terrific quilt display also is open at the museum and, as always, the museum's gift shop offers items that relate to the exhibition.
Where to go: I-64/40 west (yes, the highway is open from Illinois to well past the museum exit and traffic is fine), take the Forest Park/Museums exit and folow the signs to the Art Museum.
