The weather has turned brrrisk. Okay, still in the 60s, but pretty chilly starting today with the wind coming off the lake. Here Rikki is two weeks ago at our nearby "legs" in hot humid weather - and again this afternoon.
We are not sure if this is the reason that Rikki is obsessed with feet and "toesies," but she is constantly asking to sit on our feet or for us to sit on hers.
The legs are also known as Agora, a "group of 106 headless and armless iron sculptures at the south end of Grant Park," per Wikipedia. It goes on, "Designed by Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz, they were made in a foundry near Poznan between 2004 and 2006... The Chicago Park District brought the work to Chicago as a permanent loan from the Polish Ministry of Culture."
You can see a better picture below (our building is the second from the left):
