A Meadow In The Yard

 More people are ditching their lawns and opting for a meadow. As the seasons progress, short grasses and clover give way to taller plants. In this yard, coneflowers add pops of color. Queen Anne's lace sways in the too-hot breeze. Seed heads are forming and I know that birds are waiting to come and feast on them. Some neighbors may be taken aback to see a tidy green lawn disappear, but the birds, bees and butterflies are happier.
