Woke up to rain this morning… but with April Showers come… ummm?…
DANDELIONS!!! And I’m here for it.
Might be a weed… but still a colorful sign that Spring is here!!!

Still a bit chilly, but bright blue skies sure help when highlighting these beautiful forsythia branches. Always a welcome sight as Spring is finally blooming all around us!

Well, it’s officially the “First Day of Spring” … and we woke up to SNOW!!!
More than an inch overnight. Welcome to Spring in Chicago!!!

Guess our little “hint of Spring” is over?!
It was nearly 80-degrees on Friday… and today it’s about forty degrees colder with SNOW!!!
Welcome to Chicago weather… ugh.

While most have fallen… there are still a few leaves hanging on & showing off!!!

A striking Fall gradation of color & natural perseverance growing through a wooden pallet in the alley. Nature always finds a way!

Fall colors still hanging on… great contrast against today’s blue skies!
Sure, a lot of leaves have dropped already.
But we still have a lot of “pretty” going on around town!
