It’s a nice sunny day here in Chicago. The magnolia trees in front of my building seem to have survived last week’s snow, and are blooming.
The cats are going nuts because a couple of doves (yes, doves, not pigeons) have decided that a window ledge would be a great place to hang out. Every time they coo, the cats make a mad dash to the window to try to get at them. Ain’t happening, boys.
Recovering from a broken ankle. Beautiful day here as Amalia says. Attempting to walk on it now that it’s been 8 weeks. Gotta get outside and enjoy the fresh air. Have a great day everyone.
=Seeing more and more people use our local cemetery for walking, running and biking. Even dog walking though it’s technically prohibited.=
We live near-ish to Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago and had been using it as a secret spot to jog or take the kids bike riding. Then they closed the gates about a week or so ago.
Madison County politics has a couple of story lines from the last two years coming to a head this month. A county board member accused of stalking Glenn Poshard’s daughter, and the local GOP spying on County emails of other elected officials.

Remembering Ernie Pyle…one of the greatest journalists ever. 75th anniversary of his death was over this past weekend.

@PublicServant -
Sorry to hear about your ankle. I hope you can get outside, but don’t overdo.

Nice sunny day. May try to clean up the garage a bit … even though that is probably a 5 year job.
