Hmmm, starting to think about gardening! Been helping Steven move some stuff to his new place and we keep bumping into my full sized heavy duty spade that I keep in the trunk. Mind you, not a snow shovel, a spade fit for an agronomist, just in case I get the urge to dig a hole!
These were taken a few years ago when my sis and I visited the Chicago Botanic Garden. Maybe this will help warm you up on a cold winter day!

The Chicago Botanical Gardens are awesome, aren’t they. Had my chance to see it several years ago when Dave had a Veterinary meeting in Schaumburg.
