My sister lives in a rural area outside of Carey, Ohio, on a stunning piece of property that they mostly leave wild. The driveway to their home is this gently arching lane of loveliness that transects a fairly large wet woodlot filled with Hickories and Oaks. If a person has blinders on, it should take all of about 40 seconds to travel from the road to the house. But, being the blinderless person that I am...I always have to schedule loads of extra time when I visit because it has literally taken me hours to make that 40 second drive. I can NEVER stay in my car! There's always something along the lane that demands my attention. <br /><br />Once they cut the drive in and allowed a bit of sunlight to penetrate, the wildflowers burst onto the scene! So many of my fav are there: Squirrel Corn, Trillium, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, and Blue Cohosh. (don't you just LOVE the foliage of Blue Cohosh?!!) But, the star of the show is the amazing Cardinal Flower, and it's there in abundance. <br /><br />Thanks for filling my day with such pleasant thoughts!Kimberly Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111614059575304808noreply@blogger.com
