Petey will never be a learned fellow, but he’s a pretty nice fella.
Tufted evening primrose (Oenothera caespitosa) is beautiful wildflower of the uplands. And though seeing it on a summer hike sounds hot and grueling, it does bloom into the fall. If you want one for your own habitat, it is grown commercially, so look for it in a good little nursery. But I do hope you stumble upon it on an early morning hike in the hills.
Petey brings an injured barn owl home. Oh dear, let’s hope for a happy ending.
I love following drainages and observing all the plants and animals that follow them too. Do I always tell you…
I originally wrote and recorded the song Road Across the Grassland in 2005…well, maybe a little before, but listen, there really is a dirt...
