My Little Prairie Patch

I have spent both quality time and sheer sweat time at my prairie paradise. 

I’ve cut back many many cottonwood seedlings and attacked the invasive white prairie clover and mowed my prairie path.  I’ve also enjoyed spotting yellow cone flowers, evening primrose, big and little bluestem, and some liatris starting to bloom. 

There are milkweeds and one plant is used as a trellis by a morning glory .  With the drought the mosquitoes haven’t been a problem although flies have a nasty bite.
As I walked the lane I marveled at the multitude of swallows line up on the power lines.
