Paseo Prairie Garden Live Art Was Great!!!!

Yesterday was one of those days Chicagoans give all the reason in the world (despite freezing miserable winters and generally cold weather 8 or 9 months out of the year) for claiming Chicago is one of the best cities in the world. I have no biased opinion. ha ha. It was 75 degrees and sunny all day long. A marvelous day in which EVERYONE is outside. Everyone says hi to each other. Kids are playing. Elotes carts abound. Ice cream man. Bikes. Families. BBQ's. I think you get the point. I posted about The Paseo Prairie Garden Live Art Event recently. Ashamedly, when the weekend hits, it flies by so quickly with this going on and that going on that cyberworld slips through my fingers. I had forgotten all about the live art event, hell, I didn't even read it thoroughly enough to know specific details. Oops. Apparently my blog comes full circle. I post an event, and one of my friends calls me to say she's going and in the process reminds me about what I posted in the first place. Apparently anyone could go there and create a piece of art. They had paint and paintbrushes for everyone. There was a dj and at times a guy playing the guitar. And some really amazing art! All of the pieces of art are being displayed at a street festival this month and any pieces of art (including ours) sold half the proceeds go to a charitable organization. It was great to be out in the community with neighbors and friends being artistic!

Then me and the pretend "husband" had a lovely day in the park. He's going to show me the ropes of "just going where the wind takes you" when I am unemployed in two weeks. We did the leisure stroll through the AMAZING park by our house and enjoyed the pre-festivities of the Puerto Rican fest. I am super pissed because my camera memory card was at home and I couldn't take any pics for y'all......rest assured the fest is going on ALL week. Oh man, it's the best festival ever. I'm going to eat a lot of arepas, dance a lot of salsa, and basically just be with the Puerto Ricans all this week! :) I'll keep you posted. For now, here's some pics of the live art event!
