How Are You Celebrating This Early Burst of Spring?

This is not a normal March 15. Have you been outside?

The weather this week has been pretty unbelievable. 

This week has seen abnormally high temperatures — Chicago set a record high Wednesday of 81 degrees — making it nearly impossible to sit inside. I went for a run on Green Bay Trail yesterday morning and took a walk through Fort Sheridan in the afternoon.

Getting work done today has been a struggle. I've wasted more time taking longing glances out my window than I care to admit.

Tell us in the comments how you've been celebrating the beautiful weather. Are you planting flowers or tidying up the yard? Spending the day at the playground? Going for a bike ride? Upload your photos of your time outside in case we end up needing fodder to reminisce about this week if it turns cold again.
