New Crown Gusher at Prairie Park

We have a new crown gusher at Prairie Park. They tell me the fountain has lights, but I've yet to see it lit up at night. We must be having some technical difficulties with a timer or sensor somewhere.

The bad news is the prairie flowers around the lake are sparse this year. The good news is the hardy grasses have finally come in strong.

Anyone who suggests that growing a native prairie is easy hasn't tried to grow one in Elburn.

I have to admit, after this much effort, a big old mower seems like the logical solution. Maybe we are just trying too hard.
