I decided to take a little walk today.  Down Roscoe, down Broadway, down Clark, down Wells, down Franklin, and arrive three hours later in back of the Merchandise Mart.  While walking down Wells in Old Town, I passed the A New Leaf Studio & Garden on the west side of the street.  Much to my delight, they had blocked one of their doors with flowers.  A welcome sign of Spring, as was the drizzle that turned to blue skies as the afternoon began to recede into twilight.   

If flowers don't mean Spring, how about donuts?

And if donuts, don't do it for you, how about a cow?

But whatever you do, don't smoke!

But buy yourself a present on such a lovely day.
