The indecisive goose and the hungry heron. 

Sunday was a rainy gray day and it made us feel right at home, yet disappointed, as we wanted to bike to Chicago Botanic Garden. In the end we quit our whining and hit the trail. We were soaked by the time we reached our destination but the rain let up upon our arrival. We dried off and enjoyed the flowers, vegetables, fountains and water-loving foul. The garden is an oasis and an inspiration. I'm glad we visited before the season changes further, but I look forward to seeing it in fall, winter, and spring. As we headed for home the skies opened up once again and we were soaking wet. Somehow it made the ride all the more pleasant and festive.
