Today was Memorial Day. Just a few miles away, flags are planted in the "Field of Honor." I love seeing it every year as it reminds me of what today is really about...
Later, the women's Exergy Tour came through Hidden Springs. The race is a qualifier for the Olympics. We were lucky to have it here in Idaho for the last 4 days, and really lucky to have it so close to home today. These gals are FAST!
A few days ago, I watched as a crop duster dropped a few loads on a field just across Dry Creek. I think it was dropping on the organic farm - does that mean it was dropping lady bugs???
And, a field of poppies belonging to the neighbors just a little above Jacob Springs. I look forward to seeing them bloom every year - aren't they beautiful!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well.
Nice photos! I always get excited when I see crop-dusters here on the Palouse (and there are LOTS of them this time of year) even though I know they're spraying nasty stuff. I think it would be so fun to fly in one; those pilots are crazy!
ReplyDeleteKate, I'm pretty sure we know someone who could hook you up if you are serious about getting a ride. I like Aunt Jod's idea about filling it up w/ Lady Bugs as well :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a marvelous chronicle of your weekend. The flowers are especially beautiful---and those areas look "woodsy"---I love that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I love those photos - especially of the wild roses. My dad once told me that wild yellow roses were among my mom's favorite flowers. :)
