Now don’t get me wrong… I’m not saying that it is quite “warm” yet as there are still remnants of Winter literally hanging on along the lakefront. And there are no delusions here that Winter is over. You know there is probably more cold & snow on it’s way at some point!!! But let’s enjoy this while we can…

Don’t get me wrong… it’s still chilly in Chicago.
And we had another hard frost overnight giving everything a beautiful coating of winter sparkle.

The snow is still melting… and the tiny succulents seem to be thriving?!

From the looks of my windows this morning… it’s still pretty darn cold outside!!!
Can’t wait for the “warm-up” they’re forecasting in a couple days!

Woke up this morning to some VERY frosty windows!!! Whew baby it’s cold outside!!! The actual temperature is below zero… but the “real feel” temperature is about 30-degrees COLDER!!! Thinking it’s a good day to hunker down at home and try to get some things done. You know, all that “busy work” you wish you had more time for?… fingers crossed.

It’s been a snowy week in Chicago at “The Friendly Confines”!

A bit rainy & slushy today… but not too much accumulation in the City. So does this still count as our first official snowfall of the season???

So my morning ride started a little earlier than normal. Had to catch the lunar eclipse as I watched the earth’s shadow cross the moon. Very cool. Very early. Doesn’t happen very often… as our next one is not until 2025… it happens only about every year and a half when the sun, earth & moon all align for this wonderful sky show!!!

You know you’ve gotten a “good amount” of rain lately when you LITERALLY have cattails growing in the curb-gutter of the city streets?! Too funny… and oddly, I LOVE this!!!
