Well, we finally got our first snow of the season… a bit too soon for my liking. Nothing too heavy in my neighborhood. But it looks like some of the trees were caught off-guard too!

From this morning’s sunrise bike ride!!! I’m usually so focused on the horizon to the east for the sunrise… but this magical surprise was hanging low & off to the west.

Crashing waves AND submerged rocks???…
yet ANOTHER reason for me not to be swimming!!!
Like I need another excuse.

Cloudy ALL day! But as soon as the art fair ends… SUNNY!!!
I’ll take it… so much better than packing up in the rain!!!

Cloudy, windy & humid… a murky trifecta for a non-sunrise morning ride! The tailwind was great, but the ride back home was a little tougher. And for those that know our Chicago skyline… you might notice that there are some buildings “missing” due to the low-flying clouds!

And now back to the art fair… okay, with clouds, but hoping we miss the rain today!

After the rain… err, or should I say “between” the rain as it looks like there’s more in the way later tonight. Cool raindrops caught in the crazy-fun flowers of my front garden’s smoke bush!

Some crazy-cool fog rolling through the City today… just kinda hangin’ out low through the buildings. Generally there’s a really great view of the skyline from out on Navy Pier… but not today!!! Just a couple brief glimpses of the blue tower designed by Jeanne Gang.

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.

Snow Day fun making SNOW DUCKS!!! My friend Tiffany brought her “snow duck maker” to work today… so we had to get outside to play for awhile. Making ducks obviously!!!
