You know what I got excited about this week? Doing laundry! It’s been so busy the past month that household chores have been neglected. Maybe I’ll catch up a bit over the holiday weekend. I have yet to sift through the photos I took at Shawna Moore’s workshop. I meant to plug my own show […]

Judging by the neighborhood, it’s time to swing by the rose garden one of these days. First I have to wrap another deadline though. Yesterday evening’s walk was nice. The neighborhood Comma decided to seek higher branches to sunbathe on, but Admirals still like the pavement. This one let me snap a few shots. The […]
I’m transcribing notes from my weekend events, but the combination of freelance work and Marvels events preclude me from having that ready for you today. Galas and opening parties are fun to make time for, but it does cut away from other activities, such as blogging. So you’ll have to contend with a few snapshots […]
As I gear up for another Innovation Circle, followed by the Artrageous opening reception, I’ll share some more butterfly sightings with you. I hope to get closer to these lovely admirals when it is warmer and less windy. Leigh Standley wrote a lovely blog about Spring which resonates with me. On Sunday I might take […]
Walking through the neighborhood is such a joy these days. It’s gotten a little cooler from the strange March ‘summer,’ but this has not deterred all the blooming. My favorite flower is already popping up in places.  These ‘bells’ do feel like Easter to me. And tulips abound as well. The resident Peregrine Falcons have […]
Did you devour a book yesterday? April 1 marks the birthday of French gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), the author of Physiologie du goût. In honor of this birthday, and based on an idea conceived in 1999, Judith A. Hoffberg and Béatrice Coron started The International Edible Book Festival. Eat Libris flyer by Evanston Print and […]
A few Fridays ago I visited Navy Pier for the Annual Flower and Garden show. First I had to take a ride on the Ferris Wheel of course. I spun by the stained glass museum and as I walked aaaaallll the way to the end of the pier, discovered a modern stained glass section. The […]

We’ve had some amazingly warm weather here this week. The trees are “sprouting” buds, the sunshine gave everyone good cheer, and it was impossible to stay in. I spotted some bees on these flowers. I don’t know what these are called, but I like them. The tulips are biding their time, but the hyacinth started […]
“… it’s important to remember that all of us are a crucial part of the environment influencing our world’s future women. Our ambition, our work, our efforts to obliterate the gender gap, and our relentless refusal to give up are paving the way for the next generation, just as our mothers, aunts, and grandmothers did for […]
After a recent snowfall I was inspired by OrangeMarigold to look at the tracks that had been made. It’s such fun to see the patterns in people’s shoe soles. Spring is on its way, but there might be a few dustings before the full bloom. My first Crocus sighting on Sunday! 🙂 Fortunately it’s been […]
