This was downtown Chicago on Thursday. The famous My Chicago day on Thursday. Macy’s Christmas tree in the very famous Walnut Room restaurant. . This all screams Chicago. This used to be Marshall Fields and the tree was decorated as an ode to Marshall Fields this year. It’s the most beautiful department store and it is etched into my childhood memories. I had chicken pot pie there—again it’s famous. ( and good).

The snow makes it all prettier. It was a lovely evening, no wind, which made walking around really nice.

Not me, garden friends. This picture is funny because everyone has their phones out, cameras pointed. As if their camera rolls weren’t overflowing as is.

Well my fall colors in my neck of the woods turned out to be magnificent this year. But it only happened in the past week, before they were OK but nothing to write home about.

Hi again. I am checking if I can post pictures again. If this comes through, this is the viewing hut at my Japanese Gardens this week. I cannot begin to say how many hours I’ve spent inside that hut meditating over the years. (OK, chatting and solving the world’s problems is more like it). .

The dogwoods are blooming at the Gardens this week along with azaleas and rhododendrons. The lilacs and irises are coming. It’s glorious there.

This isn’t at all funny. Not sure what thread to post this in This is from a national trauma newsletter sent to many ED doctors and educators. The last sentence should be chilling to anyone with any education and brains, heart and caring. So much of what this administration has done to the world is not funny. It’s sick.
