(Post is from 2017...but wanted to visit the Garden Show again!)
It's no secret that while half the country had an early, though sporadic Spring,
elsewhere it has been elusive.

Here in Chicago it burps for half a day, and then disappears in freezing rain.

Last year we planted with pansies now.

Our porch bloomed, not this year, yet.
Nothing is on my front door, or on the front porch except twigs and wind refuse,
which hasn't stopped with the constant overflowing gutters.

My weak attempt at Spring this year, so far.

I have planned food. Carrots are a must.
We're scrubbing the back porch, when it isn't 40 degrees.

We get your elusive Chicago "spring" a day or so after it leaves Chi-town and crosses the lake. I'm so very eager for it. (She said, looking out at the gray skies as the rain drips outdoors). Sending you many wishes for a Happy Easter -- this post with all its bunny cheer and pretty eggs cheers me tremendously this gloomy day!
