Wonder Women
After trick-or-treating in downtown Wheaton, we visited Hurley Gardens, where I took this portrait of my better two-thirds.
Confusing and undefinable, but altogether entertaining
I’m not exactly sure what it was we attended at St. James Farm over the weekend, but it involved a hooded falcon, cuatro men in sombreros, a solemn-faced equestrian rider, a skittish white horse, a man of mystery named Mario, a princess and her super smiley knight in shining armor, and a kiddo who found a dandelion patch to be more entertaining than all of the aforementioned. 
Tulips and turkeys
We went to Cantigny Park to see tulips, purple cabbage-y things, and assorted other flowers whose names I’ll never know. But the surprise — and highlight — of the day was the rafter of wild turkeys that crossed our path, bringing a broad smile to the kiddo’s face.
The rain on Main was slow to go down the drain
Eight inches of rain in a 20-hour stretch led to widespread flooding damage in my community last week. Kudos to the city for collecting water-damaged items for free, though these two chairs, kicked to the curb by my neighbor, appear to be in decent shape. I bet I could have Craigslisted them for at least 20 bucks a pop.
