This autumn I have enjoyed walking the labyrinth in the evenings. Each plant has a memory – bought from Kramer’s Flower Farm and planted last October in a drought which meant the soil was hard as hard can be; donated by friends; rescued from Hy-Vee; transplanted from other prairies or gardens. And, the rocks – [...]
