Here’s a visible sign of just how unbelievably wet this August has been — a bumper crop of ugly toadstools has sprouted in Schiller Park. A few days ago I jokingly posted about all of the rain we’ve been getting, and wondered whether the next thing we would see was mushrooms — and now they’re here, effectively mocking my idle attempt at humor.
Toadstools, in the middle of what is traditionally one of the hottest, driest months of the year? I almost hesitate to ask this, but what’s next now — snow?
