The Sun Will Shine Again

Street art from last weekend's 8x8 Gallery photo walk
in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood. 

Mother Nature teased us with a taste of spring earlier this week. It's coming. There are signs of it everywhere. 

My Oregano survived the brutal Chiberia winter!
I started prepping my garden bed Sunday, 
even though it's still pretty early here in zone 5. 

A walk through the Morton Arboretum yielded sunshine, ponds released from winter's grasp, and even a nice surprise on a path. 

I can't wait until this crabapple tree bursts with blooms!
This pond was frozen solid just a few weeks ago. 

I was really excited when I found these snowdrops
just off a path on the west side of the Morton Arboretum!
