A Glimpse of Spring


Could it be, winter in Chicago is behind us? Yesterday, was a lovely warm 65 degree day. I sat in a bar with dear friends, windows open enjoying a beer, donning sandals and a short sleeve shirt. It's hard to believe Chicago weather can go from the depths of winter to the warm relaxing days of Spring. Just a month ago, I took this picture of the icicles on our back deck, it was a cold, long winter. The icicles are gone and in a few months will be replaced with inviting window boxes, where we will enjoy long summer nights with wine, good food, and friends, encased in the warmth of summer.
