Day after rainy day . . . a soul could grow weary, were it not for the promise of spring brought by the landscapers at work in the city’s gardens.

In the above photo Gutzon Borglum’s statue of General Phillip Sheridan mounted on his favorite horse, Winchester, emerge from the clouds at the intersection of Belmont and Sheridan.  (Connecting the Windy City Blog of May 6, 2010.)

Just the horse, the general and me – standin’ in the rain, talking to myself.
