I have empowered myself to create my own Springtime!
Sadly, I have no actual power over the wretched March weather here in the Great Midwest. But I do have a few greenback dollars. And my baby sister is in town with nothing to do on this weekend. She may not be aware of this yet, but both she and I will be attending the annual Chicago Flower and Garden Show at Navy Pier this Sunday.
I have never attended this event before. I understand that it is glorious. The venue is completely temperature controlled (indoors, obviously), and jammed with all manner of flowering annuals and perienials, sod, and yard and patio doo-dads and jymcracks. Several tons of soil, plants, flotsam, jetsam and such are turned into a virtual summer day inside one of the exhibit halls as a tonic for winter-weary midwesterners with credit cards.
COUNT ME IN!
The Baby Sis has a digital camera. Tune in later for fab fotos of our adventure into springtime foliage.
