Today was the first day in 2013 that had a summer feel to how the day unfolded to it. Towards the end we took the #8 bus home at Grand street. It was a familiar in the demographics. Some club looking kids got off near Redno5. UIC kids piled on at the blue line stop […]

Spring is getting a slow start but I’m feeling confident enough to plant our kale seedlings. Also I was thinking about starting a garden diary to refer to next year.
