Ecclesiastes 3 | "to everything there is a season..."
The very first green room at the Garfield Park Conservatory was the palm room with two dozen different types. It struck me. I hadn't seen a single palm tree in three whole weeks since California.
The very first thick snowfall, a friend and I ran to the pristine open field and wrote in the sand..er snow...H E L L O. We laughed obnoxiously. I didn't remember if we were saying hi to the snow or to the people hiding inside from the snow.
The very first icy morning, I slipped. Yeah, California girl, wearing heeled boots wasn't the best idea.
Today, I took out the trash while wearing flip flops. Apparently, exposed toes don't like the snow. Sigh.
