We had to know “the thaw” wouldn’t last. It’s not even April, after all. Yesterday was the first day of spring. Today it is snowing (and sticking!).
Yesterday, the weather was so sunny and pleasant (in a Chicagoan’s terms, that is). Today, we can’t see the sky amidst all the gray and snow. This is depressing, even for a Chicagoan accustomed to the most schizophrenic of seasons.
So I planted things: cilantro, lavender, mint, chives, and basil. And despite that the newly-filled pots are looking out onto a snow-covered, eyesore of an empty lot, I feel a lot better. I think Lizzy is into the new window garden, too.
