The sand hills prairie is not normally this luxuriant, especially this time of year. Higher than normal amounts of rainfall resulted in the sand hills being greener and with taller growth.

This is the road to my great-aunt’s ranch in the Nebraska sand hills. With better than normal rains in 2007,
the prairie grasses were greener and heavier than I ever remember.
