I went to bed last night with a beautiful moon shining in my bedroom--put the shade up this morning to a dusting of snow on the ground. How did that happen--I should ask, after the winter we have had in the Midwest. Oh well, it will melt in a couple of hours. Wish it would get up to 50 today, I wouldn't have to wear my heavy winter coat when I go to the store. Grace in definitely NOT sunny Chicago land.
