Not a good weather weekend

The Palmer House is great and it has different personalities. The picture Steve posted is of the elegant personality

When I was working downtown, my lunch buddies and I used to go Trader Vic's down in the lower level. Totally tacky (or is that tiki?) in many regards, but also so much fun.

Here's a pic of the lobby at the Chicago Athletic Assoc:

I absolutely loved the lobby area. As MA said, it makes one feel like a robber baron.

I was trying to find pics of when we stopped in there to get out of the cold when you guys were here earlier this year, but I guess I didn't take any. Maybe MA did?

Remember that waitperson who kept stopping to ask us if we wanted a drink?

I’ll ask. I have Chagall photos but nothing from the hotel.

These guys perked up after a watering today:

When the flowers go to seed, the goldfinches show up and perch on the tops of the stalks. And I've seen a mouse scurry up the stalk to chow on seeds. They're heavy enough that they make the stalk bend over and touch the ground.

What can I tell you? I'm easily amused....

The beans and cukes went in quite late this year, but I think they'll catch up. Tomatoes doing well, lots of jalapenos and shishito peppers.

Not looking forward to the end of the week...temps near 100...
