Fox in the garden
A red fox ran through the garden this morning.
Big animal in prime condition.
How does it avoid the coyotes?

Overwintering scented geraniums
Good article on overwintering scented geraniums from The Herb Companion (link here).
Technically, they are pelargoniums, but everyone calls them geraniums.

Forest Glen Preserve
http://www.vccd.org/
Yesterday, I visited the Forest Glen Preserve near Westville, IL.
I climbed a 72-foot tall observation tower (twice). It was nestled among mature oak trees so it was difficult to see much below the tower due to the heavy cover.
I hiked down to the canoe access on the Vermilion River.
I saw a whitetail doe eating acorns at the tent camp area.
I saw an interesting tall grass prairie restoration project.
The arboretum featured an oak collection, Tons of acorns on the ground. See the previous Kirk quote.

The Hairy Babe

Yesterday, I visited the Harry "Babe" Woodyard State Natural Area near Georgetown, IL.
I did not see any wildlife but there were some interesting chunks of limestone lying about.
According to Captain James T. Kirk, "... sometimes the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many."
And this was one of those times.
