Another wintery morning with more snow on the way. We already have beautiful “icy fringe” hanging on my back porch!!!

Another freezing cold day! Luckily the sun is shining… a perfect day for icicles!!! And for a frozen-over pile of plants that “someone” may have left outside in anticipation of getting them planted in the ground before the cold weather hit. Guess “someone” waited too long??? Looks cool though… also looks frozen solid!!!

Another chilly morning… a little more snow & a lot more icicles!!!

Was it just me who was completely surprised by the winter wonderland this morning?! I had no idea we were going to get snow… which was beautiful. The icy roads with absolutely no salt trucks?… not so much.

And yes, there’s a light layer of snow on top of my “Tired Of Shlepping Sale” pottery which I left out on the back porch!!! There might be some extra frozen discounts out there when I do my second Holiday Home Show in two weeks!!!

It’s a chilly day down at Navy Pier… with more snow on the way!!!

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!!!
