Well. not all that<\/em><\/strong> wild actually. Since Larry’s Dad had to retire a bit abruptly, we find ourselves with a big hayfield that needs mowing. A lot of neighbors will be happy to do it for us in exchange for part of the hay. but the weather is not cooperating and they are behind on making their own hay, so they haven’t had time to get to ours. So there it sits – maturing past it’s prime and blowing all kinds of undesirable seeds into our our yard and gardens. But, I am a “make lemonade when handed lemons” kind of gal, so I keep going over and taking photos of all the different “stuff” in there.<\/p>\n

This is alfalfa [I had to ask Larry – I’ve lived on a farm for the last 25 years and still don’t know these things. I get allergic, smelling hay*]. I love all the blues and purples in there.\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215792235571620226\"<\/a>You could take 500 pics of bumblebees on clover if you wanted to. Not that I did that, but if you wanted to, you certainly could.\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215795587942736162\"<\/a>Or you could find some real pretty clover without a bumblebee on it. [despite the pink in it, Larry assures me this is called “white clover”]\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215792243674763314\"<\/a>Neither of us knows what this is – some weed no doubt, but it looks lovely in the late day light.\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215792250550519746\"<\/a>And the whole field is just swarming with these little guys – “Least Skipper” butterflies. They are very photogenic and hold still nicely to have their picture taken.\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215792240087673122\"<\/a>Even though it is a beautiful sight with the sun shining on it while we are sitting on the porch with a glass of wine every evening, I hope we can get someone to come and cut it pretty soon, because it is becoming more unsightly by the day and I have had just about enough lemonade, thankyouverymuch. Have a great Wednesday!<\/p>\n
