Return to Evanston

We came back to Evanston at the beginning of March but were only here for about 10 days before heading off on our big trip to London and Japan (those posts will be coming soon). We returned from the adventure on Friday, March 27th, just in time to participate in the No Kings rally at the Lakefront on Saturday, March 28th. It's so lovely to be back here and seeing the spring start to really arrive, with diverse Lake views, bunny sightings, and the first forsythia blossoms.
