Gay gardens
Thom and I are planning to visit Hillwood, the former estate of Marjorie Merriweather Post, now a museum with extensive Russian and French art collections and surrounding formal gardens. Neither of us have been there before, but I’d read in the Blade that Hillwood is holding its third annual Gay Day this Saturday, and I figured, hey, a perfect opportunity for a first visit. Looks like there’s a lot planned, including a performance by The Rock Creek Singers (an ensemble of the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington) and a number of talks, including a lecture discussing gay members of the Romanov family. Should be neat.
