Spring in the City

I took my daughter and mother to Chicago for the weekend to celebrate a very special tenth birthday. The American Girl Place was the main event (for one of us). We also took in "Wicked" and stuffed pizza, some shopping, train rides and cab rides -- something we never get to do in Austin.

Nice to be among them and see the sights, Canas bursting through the soil in plots along the streets, folks carrying their coats that they left their homes wearing in the morning, the sounds of traffic, teaching my ten-year-old to walk through revolving doors without stopping midway, and looking UP at buildings and Chicago's tall trees.

Here was a sight/slogan I loved! More art to come soon. I'm inspired to create...
