The Wild Mustard Harbinger of Spring 5


Wild Mustard

Ran my usual 5 miler today and took advantage of the 70 degree temperature. As predicted, a few days of warm weather brought out the hardy Winter plants like Veronicas, Dandelion, Chickweed, Henbits and the Wild Mustards pictured here. These Mustards gave the bleak Winter landscape down at Dickcissel Field a little glow of yellow-golden Sun; a hint of the warm days to come. I startled about three Eastern Meadowlarks and a Ring-billed Gull. Didn't see my Shrike. My time was good if a bit slow at 50:37 for a 10:07 pace.
