Dear Chicago,
Just look what being away from you has done to me.
I'm growing my own produce,
making almond butter and herbal medicine from scratch,
soaking our beans and grains,
keeping a worm compost out back,
giving sewing lessons from my kitchen table,
giving sewing lessons from my kitchen table,
purchasing raw honey and pumpkins from the side of the road.
And today?
Well, I'll just let you take a look for yourself.
Don't get me wrong: none of these things are bad. In fact, they've become very normal and even enjoyable. They're just so very different from how I operated when you and I lived together.
So I think it's high time I get my little country self up to visit you. In fact, I'll be there very soon... 6 days and counting!
Until then, I'd much appreciate you keeping those warmer temperatures around so we can remember why we loved you so much in the Fall.
Much love from your favorite former resident,
Whitney
