If you didn't already know, on Saturday, May 30th, the weather in Chicago was absolutely terrible. It got down to 44 degrees, and when you factored in the cold rain and wind, it felt freezing. This also happened to be the night my friends and I were seeing Lana Del Rey's Endless Summer tour in an outdoor arena. We were naive enough to wear dresses and jean jackets thinking we would be fine.

We were not fine. 

The concert was astonishing and enlightening, but I was cold for days afterward, until yesterday when I sat in a grassy field and let the sun thaw my frozen bones. We fumbled our way making daisy chains and climbing trees. 

We also treated ourselves to some Italian ice from Gina's Italian Ice, aka the only acceptable place for Italian ice in all the world. (I had never even been, but I can say this confidently now that I have. I also expect this place to be my favorite summer treat spot!) I chose the pomegranate flavor, and it was the most delicious thing I had consumed in quite a while! 

Summer is picking up speed and I am finding myself getting excited for things like the Fourth of July, and seeing the 1989 tour later this summer. I hope I can also remember to enjoy the current moment before the summer's wound away.

Thank you for reading, come back soon!
