I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of Winter this year! I live in the Chicago-land area, and we’ve been bombarded with snow since December.
Last month alone, we came close to setting the all-time record for February snow-fall with 26.2 inches! I have never been more ready for Spring to spring!
I’m looking foward to walks in the neighborhood, playing with my kids at the park, and of course breaking out the golf clubs.
But Spring isn’t here yet! Just this weekend we got another 1 1/2 inches – I almost cried! 🙂 So for now, as I wait for the last remaining snow to melt, join me in reading through the top ten posts of the week:
