Welcome, Spring

I have spent the last several days walking around, doing errands, wrapping up my class, just enjoying the weather. The runners are wearing fewer layers, skirts are getting shorter, coats are getting left at home.  The sun is shining. Two boats are in the harbor.

Spring is on its way at last.

Five Bucks

The sun is shining, a slight breeze is blowing off the lake and it's in the upper 50s or lower 60s. Springtime has finally come back to Chicago. The weather forecast is for it to get into the upper 80s tomorrow and humid as a sauna. But today we have a beautiful day.

I walked around the neighborhood, did a little shopping. I browsed the used record store for fun. (I'm not in the market for vinyl right now, but I hope to be soon.)

I stopped in at Stella's Diner, my local joint, just to get the flavor of the day. A bowl of soup and a fresh roll, a Diet Coke and a few words with friendly faces. Five dollars is not a lot to keep yourself anchored in your community.

Have a good weekend.
