Flowers

File Under: Things received at work

This morning when I showed up at Lakeshore, there was an email from our AA at Central telling me that I have received a bouquet of flowers. She put them in my office. She said "how does this happen? I never receive flowers!"

More later, when I know who they are from.

**Update - 12:35 pm**

The flowers were sent by the nurse at Lakeshore who hit my car on Monday. We had a minor meeting of the vehicles in the parking lot as we were leaving work. She backed into me. She literally left one scuff, about an inch long, on my right-front bumper. It will buff out if I even cared. She felt horrible about it when it happened and even the next day she came in to ask if she should call her insurance company. I told her it wasn't necessary. So, she sent flowers. They're GORGEOUS. I'll post a picture later.

I had a hunch they were from her, but you never know.

Here's a picture of the arrangement:

Spring is HERE!

File Under: Giddy for Spring!

Springtime has arrived in Chicago. The weather has been very pleasant, grass is sprouting, tulips are coming up and the trees have blossoms and hints of early green. It's just a happy time. Oh sure, I'm not fooled, we could have days where it feels a bit cold, there will be rain, and it's Chicago so it will be windy. But it's SPRING!

Here are some pictures I took today. Random acts of Springtime!

Pretty trees!

What elements of Springtime make you happy?
