Have you gone outside this weekend? If so, do you have any cool pictures, or stories, or just want to tell us about your hike or backpacking or whatever? Then please do!
My own contribution here is a mysterious shrine I found off the Prairie Path in Illinois. It’s actually the second object in the “mysterious shrines” category I’ve found wandering trails here! Whether it’s actually a shrine is probably debatable, but I don’t care.
It’s not super interesting, but my four year old got freaked out by some cicada nymph shells on their playset the other day. It was an interesting biology lesson. I found out the same day our next brood is coming next year. Joy.
We’re also expecting the next cicada brood next year here and I’m definitely feeling some trepidation about it.
