Konza Prairie

We lived in Kansas for seven wonderful years, and have great memories. One of the memories involve the natural Tallgrass Preserve Konza Prairie, where Husband helped with controlled burning every year. He just sent me a story on NPR about it, enjoy!

Teens were gone for the day, so Husband had the girls to help him, and they were very good.

I dispelled any worries from my mind when I remembered that Number Two used to help him with bigger projects when she was younger than these girls!

A Day in the Garden

Garden Journal: we cleaned and burned, stacked tomato cages, fluffed up the mulch on the strawberries, mulched aspargus, planted peas, leeks, spinach, lettuce and arugula.

Several hours in the sunshine does wonders for the soul.

Looking forward to a glorious Easter tomorrow!

Spring Burning, Part 2

Numbers Three and Four were Dad's crew last night.

Spring Burning

Some shots from our burning activities: look for Number Three being allowed to handle the torch, Number Five's happy "it's all done" look and Number Seven's helpful hand.
