Mac, ab_bentley, & ray h--thanks for the kind words about my little story. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. I know I had a lot of fun out there on the North Dakota prairie while pottin' prairie poodles.
Mac--I'll be sitting by my mailbox waiting for the package!
ray h--I don't know if the yellow coneflower worked on snake bites or not
. I think I'd rather try some anti-venom shots
