The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul. — Alfred Austin

Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace. — May Sarton

Mima Mounds

Posted on July 10, 2018 | Leave a comment

Hubby and I had the opportunity to visit with our kids and grandkids for the Independence holiday.

We had a fantastic time!

One of my favorite things we did was to visit the Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve. I found it to be a wonderful place when one is in need of serenity and a gentle hike.

The Mima Mounds are a mystery. There are many theories, but its formation remains unknown.

There are prairie flowers, lichen, butterflies and birds to enjoy. Spring would be a great time to see wildflowers in bloom, but anytime is lovely for a peaceful stroll.
