“What is that leafy weed I’m seeing everywhere?” was the question of the summer and Petey finally figures it out with help from a friend.
The photos are mine and of a fruity canyon hackberry (Celtis reticulata), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium!), blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis!!) and the “rustyish” seed...
Petey takes a drive into the hills near his home to see spectacular fall color of the local sumacs.
Petey is excited about old pack rat middens and talks about our local pack rat species, Neotoma albigula.
