Monday Update
Jun. 3rd, 2024 01:55 pmA few thoughts:
1) I spend last week downstate at my parent's house. I didn't hear a single cicada. When I got back to Darien yesterday, the cicada noise was just this side of a roar.
2) The current Treasurer of the State of Illinois is strongly encouraging people to visit this website and claim money that was sent to the state and is owed to them. I did so yesterday - it was quick and easy and now I'm waiting on a check. I encourage you to give it a try. For non-Illinois residents, there's also a link to other state's sites.
3) Yesterday, my Rotary club, working with the Darien Garden Club - IL helped plant a monarch butterfly garden at Saint John's Lutheran Church in Darien. We provided funding and some labor (including me as shovel operator) - the Garden Club did the design and acquired the materials needed. It was a great community effort!
