We had snow, sleet, and rain last night in Chicago. The sun came out this morning and we had the most gorgeous scenery at The Morton Arboretum. We basically had an ice show and it’s impossible to document the true beauty on camera. There are things in life that you’d have to experience to deeply understand. :)

Can’t believe I’m saying goodbye to winter! Thank God for the beautiful Morton Arboretum where I walked almost every day. There’s nothing like nature. Learning to embrace the seasons and love each one fully. God does all things well.

I can’t believe I’m bringing you snow and ice just a few days after the official day of spring, but this is Chicago and being unpredictable is what we’re all about! :) Too cold for my liking for this time of year, but it is so pretty.

It is February 23rd and I’m leaving all this behind today for California for about two weeks! It’s been a really cold winter and we’ve had plenty of sub-zero days. I’ve tried to enjoy this for as long as possible but I can’t take it anymore! :)
