I am listening to “Warm Weather,” a 1981 groove by the jazz R&B group Pieces of a Dream.

We could use some warm weather. But that song (and maybe this one) is as close as I could get for now. Well, that and the summertime in Chicago photos that you’ll see today. Just a reminder than the winds, no matter how cold, must ultimately yield to warm breezes ahead.

That was to make sure some of you were paying attention.

By the way, that’s singer Barbara Walker heating up the vocals on “Warm Weather.”
