These are some of the plantings at the new house. Some of the stuff is from our balcony. I take no credit for any of this
I like to learn about American History especially things I knew nothing of. Most of us know of the athleticism and heroics of Jesse Owens in the Berlin Olympics of 1936.
He proved the fallacy of Aryan supremacy to be absolutely false when he defeated all those blond headed and blue eyed Germans in multiple track events. Less known is the rowing crew from our country from the State of Washington, a group of underprivileged lads with holes in their street shoes that won the gold medal against all the well trained Europeans. It is shown in the film "The Boys in the Boat" directed by George Clooney. Not and Oscar quality film but a decent look at history we knew little about.
