The sign says: “Help Protect our native prairie, Please don’t pick the Flowers.” My daughter painted two of these signs a few years ago, to remind people that our little piece of Native Prairie is special and needs our protection. They did solve the problem of folks helping themselves to massive bundles of our precious flowers, but in some cases, as with the Prairie Lily, the damage was done and they have never been able to recover. 08/22/20
I think this is a Yellow Warbler, please correct me if I’m wrong. I found this cute little guy hiding in the chokecherries, waiting for his turn to fly through the sprinkler on a hot August afternoon. Sorry I’ve been missing lately, very busy days. Looking forward to life returning to normal, whatever that is, lol. 08/21/20
