Speedwell, also known as spreadwell, has spread and sped its way around our yard this spring. It's in the usual places at the edges of things, and now in places in the middle of things. I believe this is considered low ground cover, so if it crowded out the grass and took over everything, I'd never have to mow again. (Saying this while knowing full well that the dandelions have yet to appear.)
But speedwell isn't the only wildflower that's appearing now. Red dead nettle, shown above, usually shows up on the south side of the house in spring.
My day: groceries at the Lehigh Street Redner's, bananas and currants at the Emaus Avenue Giant... a Boss Hog from Wally's Hogs in Emmaus... Revolver and Can't Buy a Thrill streaming in the Toyota... baking hot cross buns with an orange-extract flavored icing for BB... losing interest in The Mouse on the Moon and walking away... Wisconsin-Penn State cancelled due to the pandemic, but Illinois-Indiana is still on... some more organization in the photo database.
Positive I'm not the first to think of this, but likely among the first to think of it while lying awake at 3:00 a.m. Cleveland's old hockey team was the Barons. For years, all the rest of their teams were just barren.
