It was in the air everywhere…spring! Put it in your calendar, on Feb. 10, 2009 it was a beautiful day in the Chicago-area. Yay!
The forecast was for a high of 62F (16.7C) and I think we reached and went beyond that! I was out running around, but never grabbed a picture. You'll have to take [...]

How's this for fun: freezing bubbles and taking pictures of them. Check out these images, they're great. Thanks to Kazza for sharing this on her blog.

It doesn't snow in the U.K. as often as it does here in the Chicago-area, but they just had a whopper storm. Don't worry, I'm not going to suggest they get a little flinty Chicago toughness. There are lots of pictures on the Internet of kids having fun, commuters suffering in the delays, and famous [...]

Look at the 38 degree swing from the low to the high! Whew! But we'll take that high any day in January! And the sun even shown to help the celebrating! And this evening the moon was fantastic.

It's back.
I decided to skip a visit to the grocery tonight…I didn't want to get out of the car again till I got home.

Could we please have this weather back?
