Yesterday, I drove up to Kohler-Andrae State Park, which is on Lake Michigan, about an hour north of Milwaukee. It was very pretty. I walked along a couple of nature trails, which meandered around sand dunes and meadows full of juniper, white pines, Queen Anne's Lace, and Joepie Weed. There were Monarch butterflies, seagulls, and everywhere the hum of insects and the rustle of waves. (It's amazing how very not silent the world is, even when there isn't a single person in sight.)
After walking for about an hour and a half, I lay on the beach with my book. I got a little burned, but I also got some reading done, and it was so nice getting away from the city for an afternoon.
On the way home, I stopped in Cedarburg for a few bottles of strawberry wine. (Yes, greenabsinthe, you're right about Cedarburg: it does not look like a real place at all. It's a bit too pristine.)
Anyway, I posted pictures from the park over on Facebook. I altered the privacy settings on the album, so you should be able to see them.
