I leave you with a photo of flowers. These are planted in the benches along Wacker Drive in Chicago (along the river). I love the pale purple pansies.

I'm going to take a little summer vacation from blogging. Spencer is in the midst of some serious health issues and Katy and I are trying to take off a few pounds by spending as much time as possible running around outside. I'll still be checking email and supporting my spatterdashees, just not posting to the blog.
