Do you see the turtles sunning themselves?
Yesterday my friend and I were doing some plain air painting and drawing. I mostly did sketching. It was the perfect day with not a cloud in the sky. Plenty of birds and flowers blooming. The trees finally leafing out. Woodland plants unfurling their petals.
Yesterday after running errands I took a walk in Wilder Park by the Elmhurst Art Museum and Library.
The weather was beautiful. The grass was a little wet. But I tried to stay on the trails.
I stopped in the conservatory, which was full of pink geraniums.
There's the library. And below Wilder Mansion. (I remember when it served as the library.)
Ever since I went snowboarding in Wisconsin Saturday in 5 degree F. temps, I've been suffering with a cold and fever. But today I feel on the mend. Still weak but the worst is over. Anyway, hot oatmeal seemed like a nutritious energizing option on this cold winter morning.
I just took what I had in the kitchen, some carrots, ginger, brown sugar, and steel-cut oats. I also sliced some oranges on the side and added raisins, cardamom, and milk, to the hot oatmeal.
I have to admit, it really hit the spot! I feel good now. :D
