water in all forms

this weekend for the first time since, well November, the snow has almost completely melted. it even rained friday night, precipitation that did not freeze as it fell making us chicogoans thrilled to be alive in this city.
it is always such a surprise to me when we begin to see signs of spring. viewing grass in large quantities is so delightful that i can barely contain myself when driving down the streets.
it makes me happy to know that I may be able to box up my electric blanket and scarves sooner than April this year.
