March 12 in Chicago

Not to rush into things, but..........

• My walking buddies and I walked outside today.....dodged a lot of puddles....but we were outside for the first time in months and months.
• I took down the outside Christmas lights! No snow to dodge in doing so!
  
• The snowmen towels, rugs, mugs, wreaths, and salt and pepper shakers have gone to their deserved rest in the basement.
• The Lladró nativity figures have rejoined their friends in the curio cabinet.

Here come the ceramic bunny and Easter wreath.

But, knowing this is Chicago, we won't yet put away the snow blower!
