Gayfeathers!

Wow, the summer is flying by.  Soon cooler weather will arrive.  Today, I hit an big high with my weight.  I hope I can be more sensible and get some of the excess pounds off before cold weather.

Yesterday, as Laura drove to Harrison, I watched the side of the road for wild flowers and I notice a beautiful purple flower over and over along Highway 7.  Butterflies flitted around the clusters.  I decided to look it up when I got home.  
They are called Gayfeather and Blazing Stars. What perfect names. This morning after my walk at the State Park, I checked their butterfly garden and spotted one there. They are a member of the sunflower family and native to North America. Aren’t they spectacular!
