Queen Anne's Lace or Wild Carrot (Daucus carota) is a plant medicine of the south used for treating cuts and bruises. This one is just budding and really looks great if you click on it for a bigger picture. It was at about mile 3 of my run today and has been growing in this suburban field for the last 8 years since I moved here. I will put a more developed flower on my FaceBook daily blurb.
It was 95 today and I felt great out there. I'm eating better and cutting out the sweets. Saw a Loggerhead Shrike at the end of Dickcissel Road. May be nesting in the Cherry Tree there. I've seen him off and on all Spring at that spot. There was a Blue Grosbeak at the other end of the dirt road also. The corn crop is still high and I believe it's the first time they've planted corn since I've been living out here. Am used to seeing over the fields to locate any birds flying over. Did see a young Doe crossing the road and dashing through the corn.
As soon as we get officially out of our drought status for the state, it dries up. A lot of the plants on the road were wilting and no rain forecasted for the next 5 days with temperatures in the high 90's. My time was decent at 49:11 at 9:51 per mile pace.
