However, it was also the end of our visit with Claire. A wonderful staycation for sure and we did not even have to go far. 🙂 North Texas really is wonderful!
Have you ever seen marks like this? We wondered if it might have been two deer approaching each other. If you know, please make a comment to let me know what you think!
Do you recognize this shoot? It might have popped up overnight. Or perhaps we just didn’t see it yesterday.
A little further out. Now you probably recognize it as a yucca. In this case, it is Arkansas Yucca. Claire told me the strings on the leaves fluoresce. I have not tried that yet, but will soon. A favorite plant with it lovely stalk of beautiful flowers. Who can’t love the tiny white yucca moths that visit the flowers!
Today, Claire was back home with all her native plants that she brought from the NPSOT Trinity Forks chapter plant sale and the ones we dug up here.
Rabbit Tobacco and the Ground-plum were planted. Plus all the others plants she took home. Her little prairie is really looking good in the city! Keep up with her blog, Cast Iron Forest to Skillet to follow her progress!
Keep looking!
The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

Ooops, I should’ve mentioned why it was a long day. We drove Claire, Briar and her newly acquired plants back to Norman. ☺️
Sounds like a very successful staycation. Claire hit yhe jackpot with plants. Yucca flowers are truly beautiful. Im curious about those marks in the earth too. Hope someone knows.
Those marks in the earth look like they might be the drag marks wild turkeys make with their wingtips when they are doing their courting displays. As they fan out their tails, they drag their wings and ruffle their feathers.
I will look closer this morning to see if I can spot any turkey foot prints. It is pretty sandy there so might not be able to see any.Will let you know. 🙂
I checked yesterday morning and could not find any turkey foot prints, but then again it is very loose sandy soil. I did find mammal tracks and another shorter similar looking scraping tracks that was new. It would be cool to have turkeys!
