We went out this evening to look for the last signs of summer although fall is officially here.
The numbers of blooming flowers in the remaining tall grass prairies area are dwindling but a few pretty ones can still be found around here.
We didn’t have a cold snap yet and it was a dry year, which means fall colors may not be as vibrant as we hope. Many leaves have hit already the ground but it is nice to see a few peaks of yellow or orange in the trees.
It seems like it is a better year for bees, wasps, and other pollinators. Not just in our yard, also on the prairie I recognize much more activity than during recent years, and that’s a good thing!
