Roadside Wildflowers

Have any of you noticed the abundance of wildflowers on the roadsides of the Warren County (North Carolina) area? It’s so cheerful and uplifting to be driving down the road, all kinds of thoughts and lists going through my head, when all of a sudden a blast of color jumps out. Well, seemingly jumps out anyway.

There’s a particular stretch in the Ridgeway area that’s full of sunflowers right now. Earlier in the season it was full of bright yellow daffodils. Who could possibly be sad when looking at a mile of daffodils just hanging out by the road waiting to bring a smile to your face. I know a gentleman plants this piece of ground every year just because.

I see patches of white, morning glory-looking flowers laying close to the ground in many areas. I’ve no idea what they are. They just appeared one day about two weeks ago. I remember seeing them last year too. Just around this time.
All these wildflowers have given me an idea. Next year I’ll buy large bags of wildflower seeds and strew them along the road leading up to my house. Wouldn't it be great if a lot of people did that?

I don’t cut all the grass behind my house, leaving large areas to just be natural. Next year I’ll scatter wildflower seeds there, too. It’s going to be lovely.
