Goldenrod
Bluemist
Boneset
My morning stroll was so wonderful. The air was perfectly crisp. Galla Lake is really low. When the waters move inward, it remains reminds me of fingers. My Maple is a darker red. Wild Goldenrod borders all my trails and Bluemist blooms under their foliage. Boneset flowers are tall near all the culverts. Boneset gets its name from the long, lance-shaped leaves that are paired and fused on the stem. Because the stem appears to be growing through the leaf, early herb doctors wrapped its leaves with bandages around splints, thinking the plant would be useful in setting bones. The plant was also used in treating break-bone fever (dengue fever), another explanation for the common name. Dengue fever is spread by a mosquito and the name gives a hint of the severe bone and muscle pain it causes. The fever isn't actually breaking any bones, but it feels like it is.

The lake is very pretty! Hope you get some rain. We had a freeze so most of the flowers will be gone:)
We haven't had much rain in weeks.Everything is very dry here. We are under a lack of water in the Caney river. We aren't supposed to do any watering... even flowerbeds.
We are having perfect autumn weather now. I love the chilly mornings and sunny days.
