Prairie time

An early morning walk on the "little prairie" near Marti and Jason's house. It was cool and drizzly, most welcome weather. Lots of wildflowers and, so wonderful, a swallow that darted back and forth close to me along the mowed trail, right past my knees! 

This is Pricklypoppy, a name we all like as it reminds us of Isabelle and Daniel's grandfather ("Poppy"), who would have loved to be back in Manhattan, Kansas, where he taught journalism for many years.
