Sneaking away on a Thursday!

Yes this adventure was on Thursday.  I helped someone paint her shed so she had time to go wildflowering. 

Our first stop was near Rothbury Michigan (Oceana County) to see Northern Blazing Star, tall spires of purple flowers, nice.  

  

Next it was up to a special ditch somewhere in Oceana County to see Closed (or Bottle) Gentian.  Lovely.

         Trail at Gale's Pond

We also made our way to Gale's Pond.  This is a cool nature trail.    



Somewhere along the road in Oceana County

Then we painted a shed.
