I’ve got fire friends headed there now!

I had to turn it off.

Eastern KS. Usually with Mead’s Milkweed populations.

It’s the climax grass in all the old growth prairies I manage. Been a tricky species for me in restoration projects.

We made a peep pizza a few years ago, and it’s still the sweetest thing I’ve eaten in my entire life.

I appreciated reading a resume that listed “household manager” as part of their career this week.

It’s such a special place!

I think I’ll hit killer vinyl’s sale tomorrow.

I thought about it for 30 seconds and went back to sleep

My office bought a table, or I would not be going.

Get to go on a hike with Robin Wall Kimmerer at the end of the month! So cool.

That was wild 👀

Perfect rainy day album.

Down to the Rambler SL, Stinner, or the Flaanimal.

That’s on my list of new bike options. Worried its top tube is long.

A 1% raise for state workers is such a joke.

Site visit to a private woodland today!

It’s a wild process. The parklamd can’t be transferred to my agency until it’s clean to a residential standard. So it’s a phased transfer of 2,000 acres 🫠

Trying to preserve and protect green space before it’s all warehouses! I never expected DeSoto to explode like this.

Surveying part of an abandoned ammunition plant for a land swap.

Baptisia bracteata is one of the early season stunners on old growth prairies. Generally pollinated by queen bumblebees emerging from hibernation.

Yep! I’ve got funding to restore it over the next decade. This was just a test to see how it’s holding water.

If you needed some good news, I flooded an abandoned duck marsh and it’s got ducks within 24 hours!

Food pantry line at 87th and Antioch is the longest I’ve ever seen it. People are not doing well. Cars wrapped around the entire neighborhood.

My 2006 Honda Element is the only thing I truly lost in my divorce 😢

A little Joy Division and espresso this morning.

Trying to rebuild two wetlands this year and it’s going to be the death of me. Engineers are something…

when I say that my industry is never going to recover…

Things are fine here. All good!

Lost an old coworker unexpectedly recently. Learned so much leadership and mentoring from Rob. One of the good ones. Never take life too seriously.
