Willow Farm Grasses revisited
I dragged Eric out to a nursery that specializes in ornamental grasses last weekend. You can also wander around their property, several acres of meadow. Last year I bought sweetgrass and prairie dropseed. I bought three more this time, which I’ll photograph after I plant:
- Switchgrass – Panicum virgatum “Warrior”
- Little bluestem – Schizachyrium scoparium “The Blues”
- Tufted hairgrass – Deschampsia cespitosa
Above Colpoy’s Bay
Last weekend’s hike from the Sydenham trails book created some mud monsters who later got dipped into a frigid Colpoy’s Bay. Also, I rolled my ankle.
One day on the water
I missed Opening Day because I couldn’t move my legs after 4 days of hiking in the woods. After a full weekend of A535, hot baths, ibuprofen, and extra sleep (also waiting for the sun to come out), I made it out for a half day by the west shore of Beausoleil.
Northern Skies Outpost Cabin
Three days at a cabin on Frobel Lake with my friend Diane, and my first time in Northern Ontario!
