Summertime and Cedarcroft is blooming

With all the rain and warm weather, everything is growing rapidly. Wildflowers in bloom right now include common milkweed and butterfly milkweed, both favorites of monarch butterflies. Also Queen Anne's lace, red & white clover, daisies, black-eyed susans, and tickseed coreopsis; tall ironweed is just starting. While butterflies adorn the meadow by day, fireflies sparkle like stars at night. The woods trails west of the main creek are now mowed; I imagine those in the back 40 are getting ready for another visit with the brush hog.

While Sandra's getting ready for weekend guests, Bill's getting ready to dress in gray wool and camp out at the Holden Civil War reenactment. He expects it to be hot & steamy, especially if promised thunderstorms appear.
