Lincoln and the Cherry Creek Pollinator Habitat have received over 20 inches of snow so far in January. This moisture is good news and Nebraska is no longer in the ‘exceptional drought’ range.

Snow Fall
Lincoln received its first major snow fall of the year yesterday, nearly 9 inches. I enjoy visiting the Cherry Creek Pollinator Habitat after a snow fall to see the tracks from animal activity. The deer had been through for a visit. Many bird visitors too. Found two imprints of bird wings in the snow. Hope you have a chance to get outside and enjoy your habitat in the winter. There is so much to see.

March Weather
Ready for Spring
February was very cold with lots of snow. We are definitely ready for warmer temperatures. Most of the February snow has melted. Under the snow was snowdrops, just waiting to see the sun. This early spring bulb is great for honey bees. They visit these flowers on warm days. Consider planting spring flowering bulbs like snowdrops, glory-of-the-snow, crocus and squill this fall.
Happy spring,

October Snow
Snow came to the Cherry Creek Pollinator Habitat overnight. It is a reminder that seasons change and winter is on its way. The trees are getting their fall color and the native grasses are beautiful with their tall seed head plumes. Milkweed pods are popping open and releasing their seeds and silky fluff. Nebraska is gorgeous in the fall.

Snowy Winter
The Cherry Creek Pollinator Habitat has experienced a very snowy winter. With last night’s snow, Lincoln Nebraska has received over 40 inches of snow this winter season. There is another snow storm predicted for this weekend. I know we are all looking forward to spring.
