It's been more like Seattle than Chicago here the last few weeks; today is the first beautiful sunny day and wouldn't you know it, I don't have a bike!

I know other parts of the country need our water, my sister in Wichita Falls, TX can attest to that. But I'm tired of this. We still have snow at lower elevations that is normally gone by now, and we haven't even begun to melt the higher elevation snows. Add in many more feet of snow at those elevations than have melted, and I think its going to be an interesting summer. IF we ever get to summer!!!
