A friend of Suzanne told her the Trout Lilies at Tandy Hills Natural Area were blooming now. To be or not to be as Shakespeare wrote, so were they poking up here yet? Sunday the 19th and off I went searching for the Trout Lilies on the grasslands. Moreover, the water leads to the small…

Plans changed for today. It was a day trip. Fun was had! My Valentine was very sweet. I will give you the details tomorrow. But let me tell you, it was much better than the roses. Hard to believe right? LOL Hope you had a wonderful day too! In the World of Animal Courtship, These…
Today, I got stuff done at home this morning. Then I rewarded myself with an afternoon outing at the grasslands. What a good day I would say. 😉 I still have photos to name so those will wait until tomorrow. Today’s feature will be the Whitlow-wort (Draba cuneifolia)! I found a nice specimen that was…
