This past weekend we stumbled on the coolest event at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, the annual Kite Festival! It was awesome and we all enjoyed the expert kite fliers. There's something about a soaring kite that literally and figuratively lifts a person up. We'll be on the lookout for it next year!
I always see something new that I want to grown in my garden when we visit the CBG. This time, I spotted some Velvet Queen Sunflowers. I want to grow armfuls of them!
Clearly, I need to live on a big piece of property with lots of room for a biiiig garden. Preferably smack in the middle of a city like New York. That's possible, right?!
