As I sat in the line of cars waiting to enter the gate at the Morton Arboretum this afternoon, I thought, "Well, this probably wasn't my most brilliant idea." But driving out to the arboretum on one of the loveliest Sundays in autumn helped me to discover a hidden gift: the prairie. I've never walked the whole expanse of the prairie--it's usually the last thing I do at the arboretum. But today, I spent several hours and it made my afternoon.
