Pretty

Google Images has so many yellow daisy-like wildflowers, and although some sort of resemble this flower, I'm not going to commit to any of them.  Just look, save the image, and enjoy.

Now, what is this?

Orange Butterfly Weed

I was at Tabby's Place today, but not inside.  OK, I was inside petting cats some of the time, but along about 2:30, everywhere I wanted to go was already occupied with humans, so I went outside and wandered around looking for wildflowers.   

An unexpected pleasure

Growing next to the garage, some volunteer Helianthus divaricatus L., or Woodland Sunflower/Rough Sunflower to you and me.  

September wildflowers

Evening Primrose in the afternoon

Milk Thistle with Peck's Skipper

Just off the parking lot of a bank in Lower Macungie.  Driving home after getting a Wally Hog, which might not have to close.  The co-owner told us today that the news stories which appeared earlier in the week had attracted job hunters.  Let's hope so. 

 

Two from here, two from there

These two are in our back yard...

Sweet Alyssum

Scarlet Sage

...and these two are in a field of wildflowers near the post office in T'town.

Keeping Busy

Friday afternoon:  Tabby's Place; organizing and looking over the pictures I took

Saturday:  Kohl's so BB could shop.  Tagging, editing, and posting to Flickr the pictures.  On YouTube, listening to WWII newscasts from Q1 1945 and "Right Ho, Jeeves".  

Sunday:  Kohl's so BB could return merchandise; Walmart so BB could pick up needles for Kit's meds.  Baking M&M cookies, cleaning up afterward.  On YouTube, wallowing in nostalgia.  The United Air Lines commercial that used "Take Me Along"; Captain Kangaroo from 5/5/69; David Brinkley without Chet Huntley from 1/6/59; The Good Guys (Bob Denver, Herb Edelman) from sometime in 1969; Jane Withers as Josephine the Plumber from 1969; an episode of "Do You Trust Your Wife?" from 12/11/1956 (man, Edgar Bergen didn't even try not to move his lips); finished "Right Ho, Jeeves"; Jack Paar recorded just prior to 11/22/63 and postponed until after the funeral, with guests Liberace and Cassius Clay.  20:14 Paar to Clay: "You know, you are a very good-looking boy." Just couldn't help himself...

All along:  feeding birds, filling and refilling their water, watching them wallow in the old garden.

Spotted knapweed, spotted

Spotted knapweed, found in the same area yesterday as the purple loosestrife, and just as unwelcome.  

EDIT:  That's how Google Lens described it, but to tell you the truth, it looks to me more like brown knapweed.  Or maybe it's meadow knapweed.  Can we just agree it's likely knapweed?
