MOUND: The Gardner
http://prairiewood.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-gardner.html
An experience of the land. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. My friend, Steve, took me to The Gardner. A Boston mansion of yore festooned with incredible artifacts, whose rooms invite photography yet rules regard it with suspicion due to an embarrassing theft of grand proportions 25 years ago. One may use a camera on the first floor, from which these images are taken. The court yard is truly divine. Those tall purple and white flowers belong to the plant Campanula pyramidalis.

MOUND: December 2014
http://prairiewood.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
An experience of the land. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Taking Out The Trash. Our pails, a silent sentry, as instructed -three feet apart, at the intersection of the woods, road and drive. A hawk, circling high overhead, issues its gritty reeeeeeeahh. The road, here, is quiet and I am noise. Downslope, down road, toward the late autumn sun, down low. The drainage opens up, like a park, onto the wetland, the edge of which is favored by deer, coyote, turkey, and me. The wetland is, by its nature an amphit...

MOUND: The Transplant
http://prairiewood.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-transplant.html
An experience of the land. Sunday, July 26, 2015. This is the canopy of a single Jewelweed, Impatiens capensis. I say canopy because it is built like a tree and is beginning to shade out the transplants. Just look at the size of that stem, maybe three or four inches in circumference. To the right is a Maximilian sunflower, Helianthus maximiliani. Carried to Brooklyn from southern New Mexico, and now to Minnesota. To the left is one of two Bleeding Hearts, Dicentra eximia. The Milkweed, Asclepias syriaca.

MOUND: February 2015
http://prairiewood.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
An experience of the land. Saturday, February 28, 2015. It's cold, people been saying it, making hay about it, FB feeds are full of it, especially the city New Yorkers. The native Minnesotan doesn't make too much of the cold, but I'm willing to point out that, here, it's cold all the time, so much so that when it is over 15 degrees F, we say it's warming. A few days ago, at a restaurant, the server said it was freezing out, and I laughed because, you know, it was 33 degrees below. And it thrills us.

MOUND: April 2015
http://prairiewood.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
An experience of the land. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. The squatting tree, a landmark on the way to the western flank of the great wetland, is flowing once more. I don't think I need to explain why it has been given this name. It appears to drain the ephemeral waters of the back swale into the great wetland. On the other side, more remains. And nettle, stinging nettle. The western flank of the great wetland is over run with nettle. It is also a hummocky, low lying peat land of a couple of acres. Site for ...

An experience of the land. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Tomorrow I leave Brooklyn for Minnesota, early as my body allows and after a day's respite. These will travel with me: Grandma's tea, Rosa 'New Dawn,' a handful of Huechera, and some Red Hook sidewalk Seaside Goldenrod. August 13, 2015 at 2:02 PM. I like your choice of fellow travelers.
