4/21/2016  This is a photo that Mike took with the drone.  It shows the bluff prairie in the foreground, and the path back through the savanna to Hidden Oaks Meadow, and then the Narrows prairie beyond.

8/18/2016  The meadow had lots of Queen Anne’s Lace this year.  I spent some days pulling as much of it as I could.

10/3/2016   This year we moved the bench back, off the sunny dry prairie, into the shade of the savanna.  It’s a much nicer place to sit, especially in the heat of the summer.
