Spiritcreek: November 2014
http://spiritcreekfarm.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Stories from the tall grass prairie in the Kansas Flint Hills. Sunday, November 23, 2014. Canine Cuisine, the Fine Art Thereof. The good news is that, based on a routine check up, there is nothing sinister - at least nothing obvious. I have to give Duke a Prilosec for stomach acid 15 minutes before his first meal, and then I serve the good old dog home-cooked human food: hamburger and rice mixed with eggs and cottage cheese, with yogurt and pumpkin thrown in, too. It smells delicious! It rattled as I wal...

Spiritcreek: When You Leave the Camera at Home!
http://spiritcreekfarm.blogspot.com/2015/07/when-you-leave-camera-at-home.html
Stories from the tall grass prairie in the Kansas Flint Hills. Monday, July 6, 2015. When You Leave the Camera at Home! Friday morning I had to take Jake the Bad Dog to the vet for his annual shots and wellness exam. When I left the house I considered taking the camera but decided against it. How likely would it be to see anything astounding or amazing or unbelievable in the 36 mile round trip? As if aliens would choose that. Friday morning to land in Kansas! An eagle is such an unexpected sight that it ...

Spiritcreek: Too Late to Take Shelter
http://spiritcreekfarm.blogspot.com/2015/08/too-late-to-take-shelter.html
Stories from the tall grass prairie in the Kansas Flint Hills. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Too Late to Take Shelter. Eventually I fell asleep only to become conscious sometime later of a howling wind raging outside. It has to be loud for me to hear it inside my snug little house. I could see the trees thrashing violently in the constant lighting. The tones in the wind were frightening. I was not afraid (yet) but the thought did cross my mind of a headline: Old Kansas Woman Dead in Tornado - What Are The Odds?

Spiritcreek: Horse Persons

Stories from the tall grass prairie in the Kansas Flint Hills. Saturday, June 27, 2015. Ginger and Wally, who insists on rolling in the dirt! The best advice is to always pay attention around horses - just in case. I also did not name these wild beasts! Ginger surely must be named for the fictional mare in the children's book Black Beauty.

Spiritcreek: Eighteen Miles of Kansas
http://spiritcreekfarm.blogspot.com/2015/07/coming-home.html
Stories from the tall grass prairie in the Kansas Flint Hills. Sunday, July 5, 2015. Eighteen Miles of Kansas. The Kansas River is "UP" as we say in Kansas. A bit of an understatement. Upstream, to the west. It is impossible to capture distance! After the wheat harvest, in the gloaming. It is a beautiful sight. Green in every known shade thanks to the rain. Every year, the earth faithfully produces the grain and grass and the beauty. A sight too long absent from the skies. A Lot To Be Thankful For.

Spiritcreek: The Rain and the Beauty it Brings
http://spiritcreekfarm.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-rain-and-beauty-it-brings.html
Stories from the tall grass prairie in the Kansas Flint Hills. Monday, June 15, 2015. The Rain and the Beauty it Brings. Even the hilltops are soggy! Rain in Pottawatomie County. Nothing feeds my spirit as much as the living Kansas sky. I have not seen a single Monarch butterfly yet this year. Just a taste of the magic. Good night, Kansas. Front yard - steamy, like the jungle! Labels: At Home in the Flint Hills of Kansas. June 17, 2015 at 8:55 PM. June 27, 2015 at 11:18 AM. Soon To Be Under Assault.

Stories from the tall grass prairie in the Kansas Flint Hills. Thursday, July 9, 2015. A Lot To Be Thankful For. Day One of the rock ledge quarry. The sooner this project begins, the sooner it will be over. It is not my property, not my mining business, and not my karma. There are worse things that could be happening in the neighborhood. I am exceedingly. I will live through the noise, the heavy trucks, the dust, and the ugliness. Eventually the peace and quiet will return. You understand that th...
