Sweet, hot and humid July

Rose Pinks- I loved these as a child- and do so now as well. I would run through the field about a mile to gather these in an open field and hang them as arrangements on my grandfather's red barn. Medicinally, they are used to treat yellow fever, stomachaches, nausea, and a variety of other ailments.

First find of these- Great Blue Lobelia- creekside find.

Crayfish (Crawdad) burrow- called a "Chimney". Each piece of mud is rolled individually by the crawdad to create the chimney. Pretty neat- bricklayers of sorts!
