Spring is so totally in the air in Chicago this weekend. On Friday at work, everybody was already talking about Saturday's forecast. True enough the forecast held and it was beautiful 65 and sunny. Nuthin but blue skies.
I took a walk midday to the library and toted along my 24mm f/2 that is finally back from repair. (Yes, 24mm f/2!)
Each spring, things start green. Each spring, I realize that we didn't quite put everything away the fall before. This year is no different and the plants that were in there died a slow cold death. I can't even remember what was in these planters - perhaps mint judging by the multiple sprouts.
Later that afternoon, i walked down Chicago's frat row - Sheffield - after the Cubs game let out. Everybody was out and about and lovin life while drinking cans of beer and playing bag toss (corn hole if you're from Iowa or Ohio).
I ended that second walk at the Cubby Bear to help celebrate our friend, Jim's 30th birthday. His wife, Mel, had set up quite the surprise having 20 friends show up to the Cubs game and prolly thirty to the bar to watch the final four. Happy Birthday Jim! Happy Spring to everyone else!
