Today my wife had us drive over to Robert Allerton Park southwest of Champaign, Illionis. The park is a 5,000 acre estate donated to the University of Illinois by Robert Allerton. Includes his 50 room mansion, gardens, statuary, forest trails and wonderful farmland that the UofI Ag Department takes care of.

The peonies were in bloom and Allerton has a wonderful flower garden. Attacted are just five pictures of the flowers out of the dozens of varieties they have.

Part of our continuing to celebrate our 50th "Meeting Anniversary" (yesterday).
