Delightful!

          Company at The Little House is rather rare. Mostly a I putter around here by myself with only the companionship of Kaia. Not that she isn't a good companion. Company is nice. It's fun to show off the grass and corn fields. For some reason this has been an exceptionally good year for the native grass, big bluestem, which some call 'turkey foot'. It's called turkey foot because the seed head is three part, like the foot of a turkey.

      Lars had not seen the four wetland restoration sites. The South Dakota field biologist, Luke, took him on a walking tour of them. All, except one, are dry waiting spring runoff. While they were doing that Evy and I searched a food plot for sandburs, finding four, which she pulled.

     Evy enjoyed the quiet roads to practice her driving skills. Last night 13 of us, family members gathered for dinner together. It being Sunday night the restaurant, normally reasonably quiet, was even quieter, a gift for those like I...hearing impaired.

Takk for alt,

Al
