I can definitely be described as an outdoors girl that comes from an outdoors family. I took a trip to my old beat down treehouse in the back of my farm. The treehouse is on the edge of a pond, this is my favorite place to come and think. My last trip outback was during the winter when a very thin layer of ice laid across the pond. So I noticed, like I normally do all the tall grassy plants.

This plant is a type of bulrush also known as a cattail. This is the early stage of a cattail before it reaches full maturity in late May. This is a tall brush like water plant of the sedge family. Native to temperatures regions of the northern hemisphere. It has been widely used for weaving and is grown as a add to water purification in some areas.

I enjoyed taking a drive on my golf cart with my dog to see what I can find outback from Mother Nature. It acted as a therapeutic treatment to have a early morning drive around with my cup of tea, before i start this weeks homework and cleaning.
