Changing back into Pants From Shorts... how simple can that
be. Very Simple.
But recently such a task was "Oh man" moment for
me.
With my parents visiting, we had an impromptu trip to Florida
for part medical and part Lets take a break! I think Sunshine brings out the
best in us! I was happy when I landed from Chicago in mid 70's at 10 pm in
Florida. We were in flip flops, shorts, singlets and hats and sun glasses. We
carried lemonade through the day to keep us hydrated and enjoyed the sun shine.
The short trip was good. Always nice to get a decent bill of
health and in addition soak in some sun!
On our way back at the Florida airport, kids were asked to remove the shorts from their sun kissed selves
and wear full pants, long sleeved shirts and their sweaters.
And that's when it came all flooding in!!! IHATE the weather
in Chicago in April!
Its should be Spring weather at least, may be mid 60's
instead of snow!
This time is for
- Kids to stomp on the playground and smell fresh flower buds, instead they are covered in layers.
- We should trade in the heavy jackets and bring out the bright and cheery sweaters.
- It should be the time that sniffles die away.
- It should be a time of green, sun and breaking away from the dreary grey
To be transparent, I don’t mind winters at all, don’t get me
wrong, its manageable and sipping hot tea and enjoying fresh snow flakes has
its charms, but still in April: Cold, Grey and Snow is VERY depressing.
As I settle back in my routine with layers and jackets here
in Chicago, I await the moment when I can trade my warm pants to something
cotton, light and colorful and shorts!!!!
And may be in the next 6 weeks, I can wear the shorts for a
brief 6 week period, if we are lucky here in wonderful Windy Chicago
