Today we visited Morton Arboreteum with our music group which normally meets on Friday mornings during the year. In the summer, we do activities instead of music. The Arboreteum is gorgeous and has a wonderful children's garden. The Cicada infestation which has been predicted has yet to reach our area, the Arboreteum has LOTS! We got to see our first one up close and personal today. They are really a fascinating insect (which I might not say when they arrive in plague-like numbers), and I think their story is very interesting. More to come later when they come to our town....
