70 degrees in Chicago!




Oh YES! It is definitely spring. We've just felt our first Chicago 70 degree temperature since last October. For added proof, our forsythias are blooming and this pretty blue flower appeared in the garden. I don't know what it is. And of course, KC went out to play!

April 23, 2008 We went to the Chicago Botanic Garden and I discovered that the blue flower is a Glory-of-the-Snow. I remember reading a book to my first graders called The Snow Glory a long time ago. I had no idea this was the flower!

I’m using Comment Moderation for any post that is more than a day old because of aggravating SPAM. Therefore, if your comment does not go up on an older (more than a day old) post, it's because I need to OK it first. I'm sorry to have to do this, but again... sigh... it's the spam that's driving me crazy.
