Midwest Book Rec: My Ántonia by Willa Cather
A story about immigrant homesteaders in Nebraska, this novel has become an undeniable classic. The captivating character arcs and beautiful descriptions of native Midwestern prairie make this a worthwhile read for any book lover!

Everybody is complaining about the return to frigid temps after the sneak peek of Spring we had earlier in the week. Meanwhile, I’m smug, knowing all my native plant seeds are happily stratifying out in the dirt. I’ll try to stay off my soapbox though 🤓

What a wonderfully windy walk this weekend. Don't blow away friends! #wind #prairie #canadianpoodle #dogsofbluesky

A lone Canada goose scouts out the frozen skating pond in a city park. There are trees and a few buildings in the background. The pond has some snow covering the ice in the foreground.

First cobra-chicken of the year!😃 #spring #Canada #goose #prairie

I wonder if this Trumpeter Swan is announcing it is “King of this wetland!”

Another great dragonfly monitoring workshop this past weekend with the amazing @phrelanzer.bsky.social! We also got a fascinating lecture on the Rubyspot genus Hetaerina by @cnanderson.bsky.social, which was a real treat. I can't wait to get out on the prairie

Even though it is still Winter on the Dakota prairie, one can feel Spring is trying to push its way in. To give it a little coaxing, here’s some Pasque flowers. A throwback Prairie Zen to support the return of Spring. Enjoy!

A wooded, wintry scene. There is something about wandering the woods in winter. It may be the silence. It may be the cold. Soon it will be gone until next winter.
