greatest show on earth

"not only the days, but life itself lengthens in summer.  i would spread abroad my arms and gather more of it to me, could i do so."  -- richard jefferies, the life of the fields

reflecting on the trip to wisconsin's beautiful waters also took us to baraboo, the original home of the "ringling bros. barnum & bailey circus" and museum.  with g'son jordan performing at callaway gardens this summer, with the fsu circus troupe, we had to stop to learn more of the origins of the "greatest show on earth"!
