It’s the time of year when the prairies of the Midwest shine with color and life. We all went for a hike and a picnic over the weekend and then I took the girls for an early morning walk on Tuesday – both trips to see lovely prairies.
The weather cooled and the humidity dropped and I felt like I could breath in the open space of the prairie. The hectic pace of summer cannot last forever and it always feels good to sense the seasons changing little by little. Today the girls are starting school and with a little luck our kitchen project in nearing an end. Our Fall routines have begun and our happy, busy summer is done. Sigh.
Here we are at the little prairie at Fort Sheridan:
And here are some photos from our walk through the prairie area at The Chicago Botanic Garden:
