Did you see it?

Did you watch the NCAA Dunk Contest? did you see Jacob Tucker's amazing show? Did you realize that he is a Senior at Illinois College, right here in lil ole Jacksonville?


This morning on my walk, as I cut through the beautiful campus, I saw this....



Yes, Honest Abe, in a Tuck Can Dunk shirt. pretty cool!
Then as I walked through Duncan Park, I saw the spring beauties in all their glory...





They look like snow almost, these sweet little flowers, that are indigenous to our town... What exactly are they? I do not know...all I know is that they are in every memory of springtime that I have. I love them...they say "home" to me in a way no other flower can or will. They say springtime in Jacksonville! LOVE them!!!
