The sun is shining. The tulips and daffodils are still looking great even after the cold temps. Spring really is here, it’s just messing with us a little.
Proud to be a lifelong IL resident. Retirement is on the horizon and we’ll be staying in IL. We like it here.
I’m wondering what happened to this nice weather we had over the weekend. Now it’s chilly again. Spring is here, but it’s reminding us it’s not June yet!

@Dog Lover - speaking of tulips: https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/4/17/23323730/100000-tulips-bloom-53rd-street-prairie-avenue-south-side-artist-project-amanda-williams
I think I’ll go over there later today to check them out.
Also, I hope you enjoy your retirement as much as I’m enjoying mine.

Cubs are starting off on the good foot. Last season’s second half winning is carrying over.

Glad it’s gonna warm up a little today. Looking for the Sox to bounce back and take two today (banned punctuation)

wish I could bring tulips inside….can’t have those around cats…as cut tulips continue to grow in water and that’s so interesting, and lovely.

I need to get my potatoes planted in containers sooner rather than later.

Yesterday left home in Chicagoland burbs in cold wind and snow — arrived in Springfield at 65 sunny degrees. I love Illinois.

I’m not sure on the protocol for commenting on paid advertisements, but that one on underfunding of hospitals and Medicaid is true.

By filing House Resolution 176, Rep. Sosnowski shows that he has fallen for the Liberland scam.

A lot of corn is being planted during this spell of warm, dry weather in central Illinois.
