Prairie in late May

 

One of the absolute treats of living in our development is being able to enjoy the prairie which runs through it. 

This promises to be an especially beautiful summer on the prairie, as the entire prairie was burned back in late March. The controlled burning process kills off the weeds and allows the native plants to thrive. Within just a couple of days of the burn, new growth was starting to emerge. Now, just a few weeks later, the prairie is ready to burst into color!
