And what better way to celebrate Spring finally making it to Chicago
than with some bright flowers in a few different stamped & soda-fired vases?!

Square, traditional or vertical cylinder? Which is your favorite???

This morning we awoke to another layer of snow & crusty ice. Perfect April weather…
if you’re a polar bear?!!! Luckily our Spring flowers are trying to be troopers
and enduring the prolonged cold right along with us!

Which really means one more “bonus” day to work on my tax return!
Now if we could just be “emancipated” from all this snowy-slushy weather too?!!!

Enough snow today that even the Chicago Cubs Home Opening Day had to be postponed until tomorrow! Sure, it may be a bit warmer & drier for everyone… but I was kinda looking forward to watching players literally SLIDING into Home Plate… and continue sliding into a snow bank! C’mon, this coulda been hysterically fun to watch!!!

Really?… again? Another snowy Spring day in Chicago…
at least it made for a serene morning in Wicker Park.

Another wonderful day with beautiful blue skies
as far as the eye could see. Happy Sunny Sunday… pedal on!!!

Followed later in the day with ice cream with my sister Jen and niece Taylor!
First you work it off… and then…

Bit of a chill in the air this morning… and on my windshield.

Kinda makes me wish my gas fireplace burned actual wood?!

Another chilly day here in the City as buildings are spewing ice everywhere you look!
Beautiful stalactites of ice!!!
