Nearly July now and times are busy around here! Same for you
I bet!
We’ve already had Cinco de Mayo, Blooming Fest, and soon
will have the 4th of July well and roundly celebrated in our town
and surrounding communities, too! So many parades, fireworks and festivals at
this time of year.
Speaking of which we are preparing for the West Chicago
(Ill.) Railroad Days to celebrate the key feature leading to the founding of
the community back in the 1840’s. And then there are the Farmers Markets
dotting our towns each summer, the marathon races, both running and bicycling,
as well as garden walks, and auto shows, cruise nights and what all. In
Winfield they celebrate the Good Old Days, and a string of dates for auto shows
and cruise nights, too. In Warrenville
we have an August festival called Summer Daze replete with two days of live
music, food galore and a major auto show. Then in fall we celebrate Art on the
Prairie with two days of art, music and, what else, food, and more food!
By October Warrenville, Winfield and West Chicago , Illinois
Part of living in Illinois
is looking forward to summer. As I’ve learned to weather the miserable winters
I have come to love the nuances of spring – early, middle and late spring – and
the gentle differences of early, middle and late summer. Then there are the
very subtle attractions of the fall months – early, middle and late. Anything
but cold, damp and miserable winter. So you see being adaptable makes for
pleasant weather, even if it is only in the mind!
The tricks we play on ourselves. At least these do no harm.
Now if we would do this with some of our heavy issues in need of resolution. Nuances.
Perhaps we can think of some that will make a difference in the political
arena? Soften the negativity. Create positive ideas? Maybe even constructive?
Just a thought.
