spring?

I swear I saw a few crocuses beginning to unfurl little shocks of purple, gold, and white in a few places around town today. It's been a very sunny Sunday here, and mild temperatures. We ate lunch at Letizia's on Division, and really, we should have grabbed a table outside given this early-in-the-year opportunity to sit outside comfortably. A glorious day.

First order of business today - after breakfast and showering and dressing - was coffee. Our habit, thanks to months of winter, would have been to bring reading material and/or laptops. Ah no, I suggested otherwise. Coffees in hand, we headed to the lake, aiming for a bit of stroll down by the water in Lincoln Park.

Most of the walk we didn't even notice too much of what was around us, in fact. Basking int he sun, holding hands, chatting and not chatting. At the Waveland Fieldhouse, though, we did stop to admire the blue skies the morning offered and the look of this fine old - disused? - building. A few shots from a morning walk in the park, then, and a wish that spring is with us all.
