We arrived home last evening (Wednesday), just in time for a special get together with some friends of ours to celebrate a retirement. The event was held this morning at Schaefer Prairie Preserve, about an hour west of Minneapolis. It was a lovely breakfast and a little walk around a bit of this wonderful preserve - a remnant of a tall grass prairie. The host is a citizen scientist at the Preserve, recording observations and measurements which are compiled in a data base for study, reference and the future. He said that there are over 300 plant species there which is really amazing. The 160 acres are totally surrounded by farmland, so this remnant is nothing short of a miracle.
We had lovely weather and a great breakfast! It is very nice to be home.
