Seen in the neighborhood.

All right. I am over cicada-geddon.

Nature is both cool and a wee bit unsettling.

Seen near the creek.

On Saturday, we walked in Nichols Arboretum before brunch.

Seen Thursday morning in Chicago.

At one of the conservation districts.

And just like that, we’re back to our spring / summer schedule, including taking our long walk each morning before it gets too warm; fitting yard work in between work, rehearsals, and studies — oh, and weather; and planning our May / June / July music lesson schedule.
