Today’s the day! Multiple people (a dozen last, I checked) are paying a non-profit real American dollars to hear me speak for an hour about sunchokes.

I know I already posted this meme, but it’s just perfect.

We’re heading to a city park to do some work with our group. Today’s focus is war on invasive bush honeysuckles which out compete native plants. It will be nice to play in the dirt as it’s been a long winter so far.

I just found this photo of an Indigo Bunting I shot way back in May 2018.

It's a new-to-me photo. I am TERRIBLE about taking photos, dumping the files and forgetting to go back and look at them.

Today @Jillianmarisa and I spent a few hours at our local area doing bird counts for . Identifying these two drove me nuts.

This is among my all-time favorite . @Jillianmarisa and I snagged a bunch of them last weekend while on a brief trip to Wisconsin.

LOVE the warm "pastel-y" colors. Also checks off my box.

Ugh, Mondays suck.

So here's a regal fritillary I spotted a few months ago while exploring some remnant prairie with @Jillianmarisa and our Master Naturalist group.

You know those trees with the softball-sized green brain balls? They are called Osage Orange. The wood is crazy dense/tough. Natives used its wood for their bows. The French called the tree Bois D'Arc (sounds like bowed ark) which translates to wooden bow. Right now around the Midwest the leaves are gone and the balls are a danglin’. They look hilarious. ALSO SEE: Hedge apple.
