Not everyone was bright eyed and bushy tailed
on an early Sunday morning!
I enjoyed all the Dame's Rocket
growing along the
road way.
I had mistakenly identified these flowers as Wild Phlox until I was corrected
by my daughter Grace
who has a keen interest in all things wild,
plant and animal.

...would love to dig some up to take home to
get established in front of my house.
I do have Lupins...
but these look especially beautiful with the
old barn in the background.
...a bank of Lupins, Poppies and Irises
...with and good mix of weeds and grasses.
One of the things I like best about this time of the year are the endless fields coming to life.
The cloudy day really brings out the intense green of the fields and hills and the fog hanging over the North Mountain makes it look mystical.
Normally the fields around here are planted with just one crop, soy beans, corn or potatoes like the field above, so I was surprised to find this one planted with a good mix of vegetables...an assortment of lettuces, broccoli, Kale, beets, cabbages and potatoes.
It makes my little veggie patch
look kind of puny
...doesn't it?

Love the horses. Are you sure that's wild pholx and not dame's rocket?
You're right...it is Dame's Rocket which is often mistaken for Wild Phlox. Dame's Rocket has 4 petals while Wild Phlox has 5.
