I hope to inspire and promote a way of landscaping that restores an interconnectedness between people, birds, animals, insects and soil organisms into harmonious cohabitations. Your comments are welcome.

SPRING IS COMING - A flower nation is coming
Pasque Flower Anemone Patens
Ranunculaceae. Buttercup or Crowfoot Family.
This is a deep rooted perennial of dry prairies, sand plains and hillsides. It is one of the first blooming wildflowers of Minnesota. When the Dakota saw this plant blooming amid the melting snow, they would sing a ceremonial song about the Pasque Flower. The words of the song encouraged the other flowers to emerge soon.
Total Lunar Eclipse (Last night)
I went outside into the back yard. The Moon had turned a carnelian red color.... and Saturn was southeast of the moon.... and the bright star just above the moon was Regulus during the eclipse. The winter night constellation Orion was still visible. I am glad my alley doesn't have light posts. It was an awesome sight to behold!!!!
