What richness for the eyes and soul. I would love to know how you approach identifying them. <br />Do call me "Wild Bergamot" from now on.

It also reminded of Phyllis Diller-haha, if you remember her. Also love all these skies and beautiful barns. Barns!

Your photos are beautiful and I really feel like I was there. I agree that you should be blogging about whatever you like, by the way. I had a conversation with a fairly well-known blogger a couple of years ago in a Ravelry group that really left a bad taste in my mouth; she was criticizing blogs that share photos of flowers and such, saying they didn't have enough substance. I don't know what she expects from a blog, but flowers make me happy so I often share photos of them. Life is too short not to be happy and feel good about your own little world whenever possible.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-16023295716907594602015-07-24T11:25:40.403-05:002015-07-24T11:25:40.403-05:00Somehow I missed the post about your mishap last y...Somehow I missed the post about your mishap last year, but now being in the know, I feel all the more privileged to be able to read this post as well! Your words and photos about wheeling through the Wisconsin wildflowers are a book in the making, Sue...so beautiful and instructive. Thank you!!! This Sunday I am hoping to head to the beach to camp with some of my adult children and then the next week drive with other family members down to Burbank and back to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of my older sister and her husband. I am happy for you and your husband that you recently celebrated your 30th wedding anniversary, and I agree your 30 mile bike ride seems a fitting part of that great celebration :) I join your dad in prayers for your safe travels. xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366775845290776474.post-91023569521404002322015-07-24T11:12:44.291-05:002015-07-24T11:12:44.291-05:00Love the photos.
