It was beautiful today out on the (restored) prairie.
A good day for wildflowers
Spirit Mound Prairie Trail
I tend to forget that Spirit Mound, a major landmark in these parts, is only few miles away from town. Funny, when I lived in a huge megalopolis, I had no problem driving 20 minutes nearly every day so I could hike up a somewhat larger hill. It’s easy to take natural beauty for granted here, without so much concrete and asphalt around.
Spirit Mound
No evidence of 18 inch devils today at the mound although at the nearby park a young man with a throwing disc certainly put a devilish spin on some of his tosses to his mother.

Thanks for the reminder that it’s (almost) fall. Still feels like summer here. (Although we did have one almost fall-like day on Tuesday.)
