HEY Y'ALL - WELCOME TO CHICAGO !


I do believe that the Spring Flingers have brought Spring to Chicago! It's about time the growing season got going. With all the rain we've had the grass is growing faster than I can keep up with. I may have to mow it again before y'all come over tomorrow.

Well the day that seemed so distant in the long, cold Chicago winter is finally upon us. Yikes! Did I forget anything? Let's see. I've planted a gazillion flowers, weeded, de-cluttered the house ( it looked like a day care center ) , polished the floor, dusted high and low ( gardener's houses aren't usually that clean in the summer ; at least this one's ) washed windows, cleaned the fish pond, washed and groomed the dogs, prepared drinks for the visitors, and hid the king size BBQ grill and water hose.

Good grief I just realized I have nothing to wear. No proper Southern Belle would be without a gigantic hat. Problem is I can't find one to fit my gigantic head. My head doesn't look big but I found out just how big it was when I walked into a hat store that had rows of hat according to size ( a thing of the past ). As I made my way down the aisle and tried several sizes, all too small, I found myself at the very last one and it didn't fit. The salesman said he could stretch it.

I can't pass the hat section without trying them on and sometimes I accidentally find one that's big enough. I'm on the trail of finding a hat to fit my BIG head. Einstein had an extra large head but I think that's because his brain was bigger than most. Wish I could say that was true in my case.

  1. I have the opposite problem - my head is too small for most hats! I would like to think it's because my brain is so efficient but that's definitely not the case. :p
    I am so much looking forward to tomorrow, you have no idea!

  4. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and seeing your garden. The Chicago Botanic Garden and the Lurie were both fabulous, as I'm sure your garden will be when we visit.
