This is a celebratory shot - the snow is over after 9 days of measurable snow - it has stopped - we had a total of 18.6" at O'Hare airport the official measuring spot. Some areas had more and some less. We live north and east of O'Hare so we probably had slightly more as that's how it usually goes in the Chicago area. This rose has been in my bin for over 3 years so I'm letting it out to enjoy today's bright sunshine.
