DAY 116

The sun said Spring, the temps argued for Winter.

DAY 115

Yes, that's snow.
More snow today.
Not once.
Several times.
Mini blizzards, really.

DAY 114

I guess that stupid saying about Illinois weather is true.

Yes, those are slushy snowflakes on my jacket sleeve.

DAY 113

Spring thaw!

DAY 112

The last short day of winter. Spring is in the wind and the light.

DAY 111

I don't know how plants manage this, but I'm sure glad they do.

DAY 110

I'm back.
A torqued lumbar disc had me off the bike for five days. The longest hiatus in five months.

So here is a sweetgum seed pod. I loved these as a kid. They are like the medieval maces. Or I suppose it would be more accurate to say that maces resemble sweetgum seeds.

Anyway, they're cool. And yet another harbinger of Spring!
