Ursula is all prairie prairie prairie here but these grasses are indigenous to much of North America and there are so many more native perennial grasses that will ALSO grow these huge root systems! STOP PLANTING INVASIVE EURASIAN GRASSES stop having lawns rewild every inch of your property

434 words. Going to call it here for the day on this and noodle a little more about how I want to approach this one.

256 words down for a 30min sprint. I'm a pretty slow writer tbh so not bad at all, especially for starting a brand new story. Five minutes and then going to do another.

Alrighty short story time, let's see how much I can bang out this afternoon. Going to do a sprint for this I think.
