A walk to the train

 

You can ALMOST see the buds on the tree!!! After today(it is supposed to rain and be very warm) I am sure it will be greener! This is on the way to the Palatine Train Station. I take the train (usually) when I go downtown and I love how they make it so quaint!

Art in the Park

 
This park is just past the Palatine Train Station and this past weekend, they had Art in the Park. It was very cool this day(63*) and I was surprised at the amount of people that WEREN'T there.

Free Fertilizer anyone

 
While I was stopped in traffic, I took this picture. This is only 2 minutes away from where we live. This is part of the Palatine Park District..the town where our closest train station is located...and they have a horse barn..which is this white building. Every time I see this sign I remember the time one of our neighbors decided to go and get the "free fertilizer"...He said he had more weeds in his yard from that fertilizer and it took him the next 3 years to get rid of the weeds! He had GREAT grass...but those horses..you know they eat everything and it was all in the fertilizer...We have resisted getting free fertilizer from here. I am a fan of natural when at all possible but not THIS natural!

Glass and more glass

 

This is across the street from this--once you cross the train tracks that is....This just caught my eye with the glass and the guy using the phone.
