I love this essay—and yes, there’s milkweed in Illinois, but not as much as when I was a child due to herbicides, alas.
"I still look for milkweed. In the ditches on the side of the road and around the base of telephone poles."

Where did they go?, think, Oh yes, to the past,
that place where everything goes and can I visit?
No, but also Yes..."

This is from a poem by Andrew Lang called “Ballade of the Midnight Forest” and I now recognize that my true childhood ambition was to be a 19th century Scottish poet and folklorist (and also a wood nymph of course).

"While I was trying to photograph the Northern Lights in the wee hours of the morning, my cat decided to photobomb the picture. Since I had the camera’s shutter speed maxed out, it ended up leaving a sort of ghostly image of my cat in the photo."
