Did you know that remnant prairies are like ghosts of the past? And some are even found in cemeteries? While you can, try to take a walk in these rare habitats. It a treat while we still have some. tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/10/29/gho… via Cindy Crosby

It's November. The blooms are gone and replaced with seeds. Each seed represents a new plant that will help diversify the prairie. Not as beautiful as the flower but even more important for the future of the prairie! tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/11/05/a-v… via Cindy Crosby

Sometimes all you need is a hike. The prairie is an ever changing place that can still be a comfort in times of hardship. tuesdaysinthetallgrass.wordpress.com/2024/11/12/the… via Cindy Crosby
