Are we getting closer??

The picture on top is our beautiful view of Lake Michigan and Lake Shore Drive.  This is what it looked like on Sunday when the sun was shining and the lake was thawing.  I thought, yes! We're finally getting closer to spring.

Then overnight and all day today it's been snowing.  In Chicago it snows sideways because of the wind.  So the picture below is our view today.  Clearly the lake is frozen solid again, and spring is still several weeks away.

February is tough in most parts of this country, but just remember the days are getting longer and we're getting closer to beautiful flowers and days with plenty of sun.  Until then, we should all just stay inside and drink a lot of wine.  Shalom!
