Late Afternoon Walk in Montgomery Arboretum of Native Flora

One mild October afternoon, Bhavna and I decided to spend a quiet evening outdoors, soaking up the last bit of warmth in the sun. We parked at Montgomery Veterans Park, near the Harlingen Road Fields. After a short walk to the Pike Run bridge, we crossed into the Montgomery Arboretum of Native Flora.

When we decided to name our daughter Juniper I ordered a bunch of Eastern Red Cedar (juniperus virginiana) saplings from the conservation dept for us, family and friends.

They came Wednesday just in time to share with our #masternaturalist chapter. Yesterday, we planted three on our own property and potted up a few to take with us when we move in a fewish years. #easternredcedar #juniper

I've now been here on the 'Don for a little more than a year. The pace is slower and the bandwidth lesser, but so is the stress. This seems to be good people having honest conversations and sharing information, like grown-ups.

Anyway, to celebrate and thank you for joining me, here's the beautiful but much-maligned #EasternRedcedar: #native but #invasive in the #GreatPlains, rapidly converting us from #grassland to #shrubland.

Well, we've been dropping hints here and there, and some of you folks have caught on. But allow me to formally announce: @Jillianmarisa and I are expecting! 😍 She'll be here in 84 days, give or take...

Here's the Juniper postcard we had designed and will maybe possibly send on her birth date.
