August 25, 2023. Fresno California.
( A Happy 50th Anniversary to my brother, Rick and our dear sister-in-law, Kathy!🎊. They got married 50 years ago today in a heat wave in Kansas, just like the one we are experiencing right here in California!)
Many towns are going this route and adding art to their buildings. Two questions I hope every city considered before they began…What is the process for keeping the murals in good shape? Some of these were past their prime…Will you touch them up and put a new sealer on them or paint over it with a new creation? The second thing…will you post addresses and possibly a map of them so visitors, and residents can actually find them? Fresno had such a thing and it was very helpful!
Kearney Mansion
The Kearney Mansion was on our agenda for this afternoon. We had a private tour from a young man named Joshua. He introduced us to the Raisin King, M. Theo Kearney. He was a pioneer in agriculture of many fruits, vegetables, and trees but he became most well known for his grape drying techniques. Below is a picture of how grapes used to be grown and harvested before they trained them on the trellises of today.
up tighter than a drum when we got there. We snooped around until we were found out!
Do yourself a favor, if you are ever in Fresno…treat yourselves to a meal at Heirloom! We ate there both nights! If there was one by us…I might quit cooking and have them serve us every night.
We are off early tomorrow for Yosemite! We are anxious to get there!
