Yesterday after running errands I took a walk in Wilder Park by the Elmhurst Art Museum and Library. The weather was beautiful.  The grass was a little wet.  But I tried to stay on the trails. I stopped in the conservatory, which was full of pink geraniums. There's the library.  And below Wilder Mansion.  (I remember when it served as the library.)

I made a delicious onion bread I found in the King Arthur Flour Baking Book.  I don't usually think of onions in a  sweet bread.  But this combination is like comfort food.   A rich dough with butter, sugar, milk, and sourdough starter.  Then on the second rise, adding chopped onion and caraway sprinkled on top.  Also baked on a bed of cornmeal sprinkles.  This is one of my new favorite breads.
