Munsinger Gardens





It wasn't Saturday, in the park, or Chicago, but it was a great Sunday afternoon to meander through Munsinger Gardens, a true gem of a park within walking distance of my house. Great flowers, nice shade, and there was a cooling breeze off the adjacent Mississippi River. And on Sunday, there was live jazz and root beer floats were only a dollar. Can life get better?

So there were flowers, mostly yellow ones--yeah, I think the Latin names were big yellow-ish orange-ish flower, and smaller yellow-ish orange-ish flower. One highlight was a sighting of the rare Minnesota Fish Hound. One man had it right--wear a cap, bring a lawn chair, and doze through the concert on a peaceful afternoon.
