I love these little wildflowers. They’re so pretty and delicate. Bunches of them are growing along the tree line along the back field. A large spray of them is growing in my (weed) garden, too.

Zinnias
This is the OG zinnia. It first bloomed over a month ago. It’s getting pretty raggedy, but it looks good given its age.
Pinky
Purpley
I love that they have tiny little flowers inside.
Surprise Ageratum
I had Ageratum pop up in my garden years ago. Then I didn’t see it again until this year. I have no idea where it came from, where it went, or why it’s back. It sure is pretty though! I love the soft periwinkle color.
Killed Another Pen
The cursed EnerGel pen has finally died. I have never hated a pen so much. It skipped constantly. I thought it might be due to oils on my hands getting on the paper, but none of the other pens I’ve used have had that issue. That pen is just a delicate flower, I guess. Unfortunately I have several more. Those will be going to Goodwill.
So now I’m back to using Zebra Sarasa .5mm pens. Much nicer writing experience!
And some bonus zinnias.
Queen Anne’s Lace
I love the way the flowers look with the dried grass.
I pulled a muscle in my back last night, getting the dog’s ball out from under the tv stand. Now every time I move, it spasms. Good times!
I can’t prove it, but I’m pretty sure this is all somehow Piglet’s fault.
Skippers and Ironweed
The little orange skippers are swarming the ironweed. They’re everywhere.
Aphids and Ironweed
One of the ironweed plants out in the thicket has aphids. They don’t seem to be bothering the ironweed in my garden, thankfully.
Creepy little things.
Honeysuckle
This stuff is incredibly invasive. It sure is pretty though, and it smells really good.
In zinnia news
Zinnias never disappoint. They grow fast and bloom pretty much nonstop. And the flowers last forever. The very first one bloomed a couple of weeks ago, and it’s still looking pretty good (minus a few holes in its petals from hungry insects). They do well in pots, too, if you don’t have garden space.
When doubt, plant zinnias.
Cosmos Has a Rainbow
My cosmos finally bloomed. A tiny little white flower, and it had a rainbow on one petal. Lovely!
