frozen apple pie

It's snowing. AGAIN.

In an effort to self delude, I'm posting a picture from last summer's apple picking expedition. We spent the morning sweating and eating our way across the picking area and then we took a fortuitous trip down Skunk Lane where we found this beachside park on Little Peconic Bay.

Today's mantra: it's summer somewhere, damn it.

wintry mistress

Is it possible to fall in love with chicago in the dead of winter? Maybe it was all of the legal stimulants I consumed. Maybe it was the good company. Or maybe it's just an awesome city with an unfortunate climate.
