Cleaning up for fall

I finally got rid of a small number of tires, courtesy of periodic county recycling service. I also started cleaning up brush from my fire lane clearing work. I will establish a series of brush piles that may provide some wildlife habitat this winter and will add to the fuel load if the powers that be ever relent on prescribed fire.

The Liatris is in nearly full bloom and I'm finally identifying some additional plants, though some are still a mystery. Also, I talked to Donna Stark today and the stool I found some time ago belongs to her, as I thought it might. I'll give it back to her the next time I see her. She persuaded me to volunteer for a display at Tenoroc on Dec. 1.
