Katie's Meadow

On Monday, Michelle, Kayla, Hannah and I walked through Katie's Meadow. It is in a forest preserve near my home. It is a relatively new preserve. I found it last spring when John and I walked it. I went back on my birthday on my bike. I can access it (just need to go around one closed gate) from home on my bike. I rode there and thought how wonderful it was going to be to share this with Katie when she came home in early Sept. I wondered how the meadow would look in the late summer as opposed to the late spring. I knew she would like it and we could either walk or ride bikes from the house. Katie would like that feature.
And so, I spent a couple of hours on my birthday in June riding and sitting on a bench reading (a book Katie suggested - "The Power of Myth") and just enjoying the thought of showing all of this to and enjoying it with Katie when she returned from Romania in September.
Well, Katie returned from Romania in early July, not early September. And we spread her remains in the forest preserve overlooking a beautiful meadow. Actually, it was Linda Evans who named it "Katie's Meadow". What a beautiful name for such a beautiful place. Thanks, Linda.
I'm going to try to attach the pictures of the meadow as Katie "sees" it.
