Rain, glorious rain! May and early June brought reams of it to our area, easing worries about thirsty trees and prolonged drought. The woods and prairies of Frontenac State Park drank it in, and morel mushroom hunters were delighted (nope, nope—still not telling you all where they might have been in the park). And now we’re reveling in June, that gorgeous month of long, languid days and everything greener than Ireland. (And yes, the rain also brought more mosquitoes—good for insect-eating birds, of course—so don’t forget your bug spray when you visit the park.)
