Corduroy Dike Evening

Five inches of rain within the last two weeks have put the water levels higher than they have been for years. It will be hard for the migrating shorebirds to find mud but the ducks may be stop by in numbers we haven't seen for awhile. Butterflies and prairie flowers are now taking front stage. Mosquitoes and flies are doing well. This is one of the most colorful times of the year. Summer is a great time to get out of the car and stroll the prairie. Sometimes watching a single flower is amazing as butterflies and insects visit it. It's time to enjoy the small wonders of the world.
