Frost on the prairie


As the days grow short, we are arriving at Pleasant Valley Conservancy when it is barely light. Tuesday was a crisp, cool day, and the frost was still on the prairie. Kathie took the photo shown here of prairie grasses in the Barn Prairie. Since we were cleaning seeds in the barn, it seems an appropriate photo.

The woods in the background is not ours but that of an absentee landowner. That hillside was logged off about 5 years ago, but it was a selective cutting, and only the large oaks were taken. What remains still looks pretty nice, thankfully.
