Chicago with a beautiful fall day with lots of sunshine

It is just too bad when one lives in one of the Northern states the sailing season is so short. But, typical for Chicago it does get cold in late October and the marinas have to winterize their docks. So, naturally the sailboats also have to be put away for the winter. Then it happens, those one of two days when the weather turns more like an early fall day rather than a late one. The last two weekends were like that with the temps getting up into the high 60's and even one day into the low 70's. This weekend, although not as warm as the past two will be in the low 60's. This is almost 20 degrees above the norm and would be great for sailing. Oh well, I am going to take advantage and work in the yard and maybe even put up the Christmas lights early - still will not turn them on until after Thanksgiving but, it will be easier without blowing snow.
