So I am putting a short pause on the Fossil Hill posts. However, I still have seven more posts from Fossil Hill to share. Saturday was the Prairie Seeker class. Indeed the weather was perfect! To sum it up, a great day was had by the Prairie Seekers. For this reason, you may want to…
Ok, I did have a mission to Fossil Hill if you remember, Tiny Tim. 😉 And we were out about six hours that day. Climate Change: A “Win-Win” Between Farmers and an Apex Predator Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know

Fossil Hill in Montague County is very magical place to visit. Jeanne and Wayne are the land stewards of this beautiful private property. So if you get an opportunity to go on a field trip there, jump at the chance. In fact, your next chance to get in on a field trip will be April…

Finally, after four years, I had decided to go hunt for Earth-fruit or Tiny Tim (Geocarpon minimum) on the grasslands. It probably is/was a long shot, but hey its the journey right. So guess what, it is a very tiny plant as the name implies. There was a lot of time spent on my hands…
A few days ago, Jim heard a noise from the normally quiet residents of the Curry Foster Homes before I had gotten up. They live in tiny homes (jars) next to where we drink our tea and coffee. So I took it back to a Post Oak for its release. In this case, there was…
It has been a crazy, yet very busy and fun few days. Yesterday, I tagged along with Jeff and four others.
