A great day in Chicago today

No Kings rally and march in Chicago’s Grant Park on an overcast but lovely fall day, October 18th.

The first and only bloom on this hydrangea bush in our front garden showed up just a week ago, defying the summer to end. #bloomscrolling #hydrangeas #pinkflowers #gardenlife

A deep pink full bloom showing off like the star she is on a Hydrangea bush with large medium green leaves

Good morning BlueSky peeps this is just one of many of the beautiful gardens at Catigny Park in Wheaton IL. Every garden is designed differently but all are equally beautifull. IMHO this one is a Monday morning, after coffee of course. #bloomscrolling #wildflowers #CatignyPark #flowers

A field of yellow Black Eyed Susans in full bloom with tall red Zinnias popping up in between trying to steal the Susan’s glory

Pics from a hike at Illinois State Beach Park on Labor Day with our Danny Boy and my hubby. The prairie path was filled with Monarch Butterflies. The weather was beautiful. My guys were happy, healthy and chatty. 💚🌻 #prariestate #illinois #hiking #prarie #IllinoisStateBeach

I’ve experimented enough to know what I and my family like. Now I only grow we like. This is the way

The aliens have arrived. Blazing Star planted awhile ago but only now chose to join us. Looks like something that would take out an unknowing red shirt ensign IYKYK. #blueskygardens #bloomscrolling #gardenlife #BlazingStar #nativewildflowers

Snapdragons from the garden, on a table on our deck which has garden beds on 2 sides and pots filled with flowers and herbs, because really and truly “that’s too many” is not a legit thing. #blueskygardens #bloomscrolling #flowers #snapdragons

Colorful Snapdragon flowers in a glass bottle placed outside in my garden for happy flower time

Our first strawberry harvest. Strawberries are the first berries of the season. There’s nothing so sweet. Except maybe chocolate. #gardenlife #strawberries #backyardgardening
