I was able to get out and get some of those pictures today. Unfortunately, I only went through about a quarter of the property, because I was getting so many prickly things in my shoes and socks.
Anyway, here are the pictures I took:
We're just settling in. My, it's definitely a beautiful place here! We have many ponderosa pines, and just two very young fir trees (right by our front door).
Tomorrow I'm going to go out and get some pictures, as I've not gotten a single one besides on my camera, but my computer isn't set up yet and I can't download the pictures onto my iPad.
We have a beautiful pond here, which I mentioned in one of my recent (if you call 2 months ago recent) blogs. Right now the water's quite dirty, but it was even dirtier when we first arrived. Three snowfalls made it more clear. It's the first time our family's ever been in snow, coming from the Mediterranean weather of California. The snow is so beautiful, but so cold! The kids didn't mind, even before we got them snow gear. I never went out until we got proper snow gear, despite the kids' protests 
just too cold for me. The kids would come in and their feet would be numb from their tennis shoes being submerged in snow. I told them they should wait until we got snow gear, but it was all just too exciting for them.
It's been a while since I've posted, but just wanted to post a short blog to let y'all know I'm still going to be writing. I'll post pictures in my next post.
Hope you all are well!
List number 6 already! 
I think you all know the intro, but just in case, here it is:
I like to make lists, but particularly wildflower lists. Every so often I'll post one, and the number of wildflowers in the list can vary. But whatever the number, you can rest assured that there will at least 3 of them in the list that you didn't know about before! Sometimes I can have some of the more common wildflowers in my list, but I mainly put some of the more rare wildflowers in the lists, or, in other words, the wildflowers that most gardener's don't think twice about. Enjoy the lists, and if you want to read the older ones, then click on the links below:
List #1: https://garden.org/blogs/entry...
List #2: https://garden.org/blogs/entry...
List #3: https://garden.org/blogs/entry...
List #4: https://garden.org/blogs/entry...
And list #5: https://garden.org/blogs/entry...
The list: (the wildflowers aren't arranged in any specific order)
#1: Comb Draba (Draba oligosperma)
This is one of many tufted species with yellow flowers, distinguished in part by technical characteristics of the hairs.
#2:
Range: Central Canada to Texas, most frequent east of the Rocky Mountains, but found sporadically to the cascades and Sierra Nevada.
#3:
Range: British Columbia and Idaho; south to Southern California and New Mexico.
#4: Flatpod (Idahoa scapigera)
When the 2 sides of the pod fall away, the silvery partition remains attached to the tip of the flower stalk. Range: northern California to eastern Washington, southern Idaho, and northern Nevada.
#5: 
Range: southeastern Oregon to Southern California; east to western Texas, central Wyoming, and central Colorado.
#6: 
Leaves add a mild peppery flavor to salads. Nasturtium comes from the Latin nasi tortium (which means "distortion of the nose"), referring to the plant's pungency.
#7: Daggerpod (Phoenicaulis cheiranthoides)
This is the only species in this genus. When the pods dry, the entire flowering stem breaks at the base and is taken away by the wind.
#8: Hedge Mustard (Sisymbrium officinale)
Range: throughout, but more frequent west of the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade Mountains. This plant is originally from Europe.
#9: Stringflower (Silene hookeri)
Range: Northwestern California and southwestern Oregon.
#10: 
Range: California. Northern California south to Baja California.
#11:
Range: Western Texas to south-central Colorado and eastern half of Arizona; south throughout most of Mexico.
#12:
Range: along the pacific coast from British Columbia to Southern California.
#13:
Range: Throughout. Habitat: fields, lots, gardens, and roadsides.
#14: Arizona Blue Eyes (Evolvulus arizonicus)
Range: southern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and northern Mexico. Habitat: open areas in deserts, grasslands, and among piñon and juniper.
#15: 
Range: western Texas to Arizona and Mexico. Habitat: brushy hillsides and canyons.
#16: 
Range: eastern Montana and western South Dakota; south to northeastern New Mexico and western Texas. Habitat: sandy or disturbed soil in prairies.
#17: 
Range: California to Texas. Habitat: fields, lots, and roadsides.
#18: 
Range: British Columbia to Southern California; also in western Idaho. Habitat: open or fairly dense forests.
#19:
Range: much of California in the Sierra Nevada and Coast Ranges. Habitat: on rock, in brush and open woods.
#20: 
Dipascus, presumably coming from the Greek word dipsa, meaning "thirst", refers to the water accumulated in the cup-like bases of joined leaves.
Please don't forget to tell me about some wildflowers that you think I should include in the next list! I'll be making a thread specifically for that, for every wildflower list that I make. Stay safe and happy gardening!

So we bought a house in South Dakota. It's 40 acres, and has a small farm. I didn't want a big farm, so this is just right for me. It also has a pond, which I'm excited about, and a fruit/veggie gardening area.
My kids want to put fish in the pond, but I'm not sure they would last very long with all the wildlife, and the raccoons would probably get 'em. Not to mention that also there is this species of hawk (I forget the name, but I'll look it up later) that is even more common than a cardinal, and they visit peoples' yards quite often, so the hawk would probably gobble all the fish as well.
I'm glad there's a pond forum on here though, so I can ask questions for which plants are the best around it. Right now there are just weeds, but I intend to fix that up.
I know I haven't been posting nearly as much as I had, but it's just because we've been so busy with the whole moving process. Oh, and I think I told you but the house we're in right now was also bought.
Anyhoo, I promise I'll be posting more often when we've settled in the new place. Here are some wildflower pictures to finish the post:
