March 24--Mike Lee, Dakota Stock Images, Chicago Skyline. Lina squinted down her arm tracing in the air with her finger. "What are you doing?" Martin asked. "Making the city in my eye," she said. "You mean, in your mind." She shook her head, dark curls bobbing. "No, in my eye. So when we get home I can draw it. It's too bumpy out here on the boat and the car's bumpy too. I'll wait until I can hold still to draw it." He watched her skinny arm, held straight out, make small moves from left to right and up and down, amused that she thought she would remember it. "Do you want me to take a picture to help you remember?" She shrugged. "You can, but I won't need it." She went back to looking at the skyline. He took the picture, just in case.
It's getting snowier and windier so I'd better get bundled up and get out there. Wish me luck.

Aaaarrrgh!! I guess this happens every year but it's still aggravating when Mother Nature gives a false promise of real Springtime!!! Rainy down here but still warm.
