This is a silly photo. I was just playing around with long exposures with the point-and-shoot and she (and the nativity) were the best subjects I had at the time. This was taken just this past December.
Real tree or artificial, Jasmine would spend as much time under them as she possibly could. Difficult to do as Nate and Lily arrived in our world, but she’d almost always be there after the kids went to bed. She will be missed.

Bedford Park
Last week I was working in a rail yard on the south-west side of Chicago (near Midway Airport). Because of the snow, and because I had to be back the next day early in the morning, I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express south of Midway in the town of Bedford Park (right on the edge of the city limits). This was the view out my hotel room looking south-west. I took it mainly to remember the time I took an overnight business trip to Chicago, from Crystal Lake. 🙂

January Confuses Me
Due to this unseasonably warm winter, we have some bulbs growing in one of our flower beds. I wish I could tell them “No, really, it’s January. Just wait, you’ll see.”
