This past Sunday we took a family trip to Galena, IL. One of our favorite places in the whole world is Abe's Spring Street Guest House. We wanted to stop in and say hi to Sandy and Charles, and to show the 4E's where A and I went for our honeymoon. They had a cool marionette exhibit in the Stone House Gallery, and of course we couldn't visit without purchasing some mugs that Charles had crafted.What better place to encounter spring than on Spring Street? Above is a neat, melty snow tunnel. Below, a melty pumpkin. I wonder if seeds from the pumpkin will wiggle out and leap off, and if Charles will then have a pumpkin plant there this summer, winding its way around the stone bench?
A and I had a great time with the 4E's, and after the visit to the Stone House, a peek in the window of the Annex, we went downtown in search of some lunch. A tasty lunch was had, as well as a trip through a few favorite shops and the candy store.I'll leave you with milkweed and crocus:
