I enjoyed all the different photos, especially the red-winged blackbirds rising in a cloud and those gorgeous blue chicory flowers (one of my favourites too ... I still have to find a yarn that colour!) How fun that you had cyclist friends for part of your ride. They sounded so friendly too (indeed, nice backsides! haha!)<br />Gorgeous golden hay bales! <br />Have a wonderful day!

Every time I see haybales in a field, I think shredded what (when we drive in the States and I say it, my kids just roll their eyes). Uh-oh! All those crows. Looks like they need a bunch of scarecrows out there. Send some of those mulleins here -- I'd like to see something blooming right about now. How fun that you ran into some other cyclists. Did you know that there are routes you can travel to view barn quilts around the States? Hope you have a great week.
