I was granted an award of 128 milkweed starts from the Monarch Watch Market.  Keeping them damp in the shade until it rains tomorrow.  Getting my pollinator enthusiasts activated.  Let the rain dancing begin.

A Thanksgiving run.

October prairie grass

The grass in the field that we burned to dirt last spring is HUGE. In some cases the big bluestem is eight or nine feet high.

This is the field we burned about 6 weeks ago.

Prairie People

Cheryl Unruh of Flyover People Daily News blog fame is pictured here with Dave Leiker who has an excellent collection of photographs on Flyover People. Check them out at: http://www.flyoverpeople.net. Two very talented and just down-home folk.

Memorial

I'm posting a few of my favorite memorials. This one is from a hill-top cemetery in the Flint Hills.

Water in the field

This is not a lake, except recently.

Garlic mustard

Nice pretty leaves. Horrible invasive plant that is taking over our woods.

Prairie Burn at Rick and Mary’s

Note the rake handle in the upper-left hand corner. We used the rakes to"drag fire."

Burn, Mary, Burn

Rick and May burned about 15 acres of prairie Sunday morning. Get ready for a series of burn photos.
