Each season brings new beauty to the area but I think that spring is by far the prettiest in this area. We have a huge field right across the road from our home and it brings so much joy each time I look out a window or walk out the door. Many times the view is of 20 to 50 deer grazing in the fields, or a fresh blanket of white snow, but in the spring we are fortunate enough to get "wild lupin". I absolutely love gazing at all the purple and lavender flowers and am amazed to hear complaints about how we need to get rid of these obnoxious weeds. Obnoxious weeds, I think they are a sight for sore eyes after the long winter!
Even better yet is to take the dogs and grandkids for a walk in these magnificent fields. The dogs enjoy running through the stuff while the kids enjoy picking to their hearts content.
If I were to try to grow these in my yard they would most likely not do a thing, yet left alone for Mother Nature to tend to them....they flourish. I always feel like "Dorothy" heading to the city of OZ. JayJay may not look like Toto, nor I like Dorothy but it is still magical.
