Spring finally decided to show its face. Actually, here in the Chicago area, we went from winter right into summer! I feel like this happens every year and slowly our spring and fall seasons are fading out. Since the weather has been nicer, I’ve been able to spend more time outdoors. My backyard is truly my sanctuary. I’m always drawn to it whether it’s morning coffee or a moment of silence to enjoy the birds chirping. Realizing that I devote a great deal of time to this space, I’m encouraged to transform it into something more.
