Ironweed is blooming. It’s called Ironweed because of its tough stem. Another name it goes by is Veronica. Sister Fleta and I used these long plants for stick horses when we were young. We galloped all over and back again pretending to be cowgirls. We made our own toys! It’s around 100 degrees here so the blooms don’t last long.
Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
And she shall have music wherever she goes.

I've had some close friends (even younger ones) die of strokes so I agree with you there! I've been on bisoprolol for nearly 2 decades and it works well for me. The first medication I tried dropped my blood pressure but left the adrenaline rush that drove me crazy. It felt like I was being chased by a bear! Luckily, the second med got rid of that.
My sister had a mild stroke. The only thing she takes is a daily baby aspirin. Homegrown tomatoes are the best.
