Last month my neighbor, Tim, hayed some of the grassland per our agreement. This gives access to look for rocks and invasive cedar trees. For several days I picked rocks, courtesy of the glacier 10,000 years ago. That timeline fascinates me.
Today I went in search of cedar trees. Walking an area where last year they were rife, what did I find? One tiny cedar! Evidence of last year's success! It was a nice walk and Kaia enjoyed running. Pheasant hatchlings are now large enough to avoid her. While I was in the area I cleaned out two nesting boxes. One had an abandoned nest and the other was full of twigs compliments of a wren blocking nesting competition.
This wet summer has been good for the late season native grasses like big bluestem.
Takk for alt,
Al
