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!!!

Blue sky fun down at Navy Pier today
as we enjoyed a beautiful Fall day in Chicago.

A huge THANKS to everyone who came out for ART IN THE GARDEN yesterday. We had a great time in Amy’s idyllic garden with beautiful weather all day. Such a great setting for a wonderful show. The weather forecast for today does not seem quite so ideal… but we will still be out there from 10:00am-5:00pm so c’mon by with your umbrella! I mean, pottery only looks better when it’s wet!!!

Another beautiful blue sky day as seen from below.
