I was so happy this week to see my bulbs sprouting up in the backyard. 
Now? They’re buried under 4-6 inches of snow…and more’s on the way. The kids were actually on the sledding hill when I was walking home from work.
So much for the first day of Spring.
But the good news this Good Friday is that my uncle, the River Runner, from NM is headed out for a visit the first week of April! So exciting.
He’s a fantastic uncle. He sends me regular news clips and recently turned me on to a riveting book, “Infidel” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Plus, he’s super cool with his kayak (hence the nickname River Runner) on those Rocky Mountain rapids. It’ll be great to show him around the Windy City.
Since he’s driving, I might see if I can get him to load up some dry ice and pack as many roasted green chilies as he can. I wonder if you can get chilies in winter.
