It was a clear blue sky without clouds for the first time in as long as I can remember today at the Nature Center. The cup plants have all put out flowers which are the tallest colors on the horizon. Yellow coneflowers are everywhere, twirling in the wind like ladies dancing with long skirts. There is bee balm in the photo, and the first grass seeds have set out, getting ready to let go onto the wind. The prairie has definitely come a long way since it was burned off in the middle of March. Three months, ample rain, and mostly average temperatures have worked to grow this incredible landscape, with just as much underground biomass in its root systems and groundhogs as you can see here above ground. Excellent.
