Saturday was an amazingly beautiful day and we got the family out to Washington Park in the afternoon. Spring has come rather early this year and chances are the majority of the park's tulip beds will be past peak for the annual Tulip Festival Mother's Day weekend. I shot some pictures for those of you … Continue reading Beautiful Washington Park
Can we? Will we?
There was a bit of traffic yesterday evening when I was driving down Delaware Avenue to meet a friend at the Lark Street Wine Bar & Bistro.
