It has been extremely hot and humid here in CHItown as of late. I daresay we are not the only ones experiencing an increase in the thermometer these days.
With that said, I thought I’d post a photo to help us all ‘imagine’ a cooling sensation in our midst! This is a gorgeous fountain on the Chicago Riverwalk in downtown Chicago. I took this photo while on an architectural boat tour (ergo the water of the fountain and the water of the river below!). We were moving at a fair clip, so I’m pleased the photo isn’t too bad!
Stay cool, everyone! 🙂

They said it was at least 8-10 degrees above normal. Most of us expected high 70s in the mid of July there… xo

The Sprog immersed herself in the Crown Fountain under the Boffin’s supervision while my inlaws and I watched Kinky Boots at the Cadillac today. Fountains are a wise choice lately for cooling off.
Love the photo.

My heart and towel go to all who are not accustomed to the heat. Summers are typically hot in Florida.
But I do remember those very early hot summer days spent in your magnificent city

Ah bless you, dear Eddie! I As one who is not accustomed to the heat (and humidity!), I shall respectfully and humbly accept your heart and towel with many thanks! Oh yes, I am certain the heat in Florida can be almost unbearable to those who are not used to it. You recall the early hot summer heat of Chicago……I am grateful we have Lake Michigan and fountains for all to find some relief. Thank you, Eddie! I am always grateful for your insight and wonderful words. Blessings to you, dear Eddie! Cher xo
