Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that in the tradition of “country copy” reporting whereby visits and personal events are duly noted and commented on, “The keeper and Phyllis were drop-in guests at the magnificent prairie and natural gardens of Jerry and Mary Davis near Barneveld where a good time was had by all.”
After many years of following Jerry’s informative and quality work as an outdoor/nature newspaper columnist, it was a pleasure to finally meet the retired university botany prof and to learn from him and Mary that while Mother Nature prevails in all matters she does not operate in a vacuum when it comes to producing spectacular collections of blooming natural beauty. There is a lot of work involved within natural constraints. Thank you, Jerry and Mary.
As a bonus, two of the deer that Jerry frequently photographs for his wonderful daily posts ran out of a corn field as the keeper and Phyllis departed.
Dial up Jerry’s posts, after you read Kickass, of course.
