Life in the Ditch

Intricacies of the milkweed bloom
 

Tidy field with rolls of hay
 

Dragonfly that took up so much time I stopped trying to identify it
 

Day lily...up close and personal
  

A third patch! I wonder if I could get paid to walk the ditches and scope out the dope....
 

Echinacia pallida--the Pale Coneflower (aren't Latin names cool?)
 

Ma discovers tractors get flat tires, too! Earl remained cheerful throughout.
 

A near perfect prairie rose, near the end of bloom time.
  

And now, Ma goes to free another flower bed from the tyranny of weeds. It doesn't pay much, and I doubt it will ever contribute to the household economy, but at least it keeps me away from the computer....
