A wonderful write + tribute! Golden rod glows in late summer to autumn. A grand farewell as days shorten, and we wrap ourselves in cooler nights. Hope that your health has improved, Sara. Sincerely, Brian

Brian, I am better from COVID but still have the fatigue and exhaustion at times. I need to go back to the doctor for a check up to see if there is anything that I can do to bring faster healing. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Love your "golden rods" write/picture. Few words with much said. A pretty flower. Have a blessed day.....................

Paula, I liked that photo as well. They are a beautiful wildflower/weed. I don't know if they would make a good one to have in a flower garden. I need to check and see how invasive they would be. Thanks for your visit. Sara

Andrea, Thank you. Those heavy trucks create a breeze so the wildflowers dance back and forth from the air movement. I don't know what the exhaust does to them though. I appreciate the time spent here. Sara

Wildflowers are so hardy, they can make a beautiful display along highways...Delice

Delice, Yes, if it is really dry they don't grow as tall and don't look as healthy but they survive. Their aureate color adds so much to fall scenes. The ragweed is blooming and it does me in because of my allergies. Sara
