Another open invite to garden folks... 



We're having another gathering of garden folks. Good cheer to be had by all. I am told the Black Beetle is a nice place with appetizers and drinks. Hope you'll join us! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Sand Dune Restoration Project in Rogers Park 
Neighbor, activist and local nice lady, Ann Whelan, has been helping this small patch of coastline recover to a natural state.

This picture was taken 2/25/08 on a windy day after a snow storm.

Super Tuesday 


On this Super Tuesday of '08, we had expected a clear recognition of who would be our democratic presidential candidate. Doesn't look like that will happen now. Obama and Clinton will continue pitch themselves as the next best President. This looks to be a long year of political activity!

The picture shows a Victoria amazonica flower bud in the Palm House pond of the Lincoln Park Conservatory. The following day, the bud opened roughly the size of a very large grapefruit, closed that night and opened for the final time one last day.
