And that I am moving a lot of stuff around, planting some new trees and shrubs and putting in a new walk, blah blah blah. I love to put my own imprint on the way things grow. My arms are very very tired.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time though, I also love the way that wildflowers &#8216;garden&#8221; themselves. I get to enjoy it a lot too, since we are surrounded by untamed areas that are chock full of things I didn&#8217;t plant. And I don&#8217;t have to edge them either.<br \/>\nLike this. I am too lazy to look it up, but it&#8217;s a common wildflower around here &#8211; just sparkling in the light of a new day.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2641\" title=\"wildflower\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/wildflower.jpg\" alt=\"wildflower\" width=\"600\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/wildflower.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/wildflower-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>This is chicory &#8211; blooming everywhere along the road right now, as well as trying to creep into the edges of my yard.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2647\" title=\"chicory\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/chicory.jpg\" alt=\"chicory\" width=\"399\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/chicory.jpg 399w, https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/chicory-300x451.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/>And finally, this combo of Queen Anne&#8217;s Lace and another weed. This spot caught my eye when I was walking Riley the other day [trust me, walking Riley and taking photos are not activities that mix gracefully] and I made a note to get back there the next morning. I could never hope to come close to creating a beautiful spot like this.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2645\" title=\"queenanne\" src=\"http:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/queenanne.jpg\" alt=\"queenanne\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/queenanne.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dlynz.com\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/queenanne-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>And now &#8211; back to the cultivated stuff.
