I ran my standard 5 mile run over the still closed Dickcissel Road. the corn is brown and ready to mow and tons of Sicklepods (pictured) are growing on the field edges and into the road. Vines are slowly creeping up the corn rows and South American Vervain is attracting lots of butterflies. It's amazing how much this road has grown over since they closed it to traffic. I'm sure farming vehicles use it but it hardly shows. Most of this should die off in the winter but if they let it go another summer, it may became impassable. But for now it's offering an abundance of wildflowers, birds, butterflies and beauty. The wheel turns.
My time of 52:01 at 10:24 per mile. Hot and muggy but wonderful.
