Thread Stealers With Too Much On Their Minds

[BeccaDay]

I will be visiting several of the Nationals parks and monuments in Colorado.  I’m especially excited for Mesa Verde, I haven’t been there since 5th grade.

I have an HP2 sighting! Just logged one of my hides 🙂

Yesterday we spent some time with Trekkin’ and Birdin’ in their neck of the woods, and while sitting in the shade of their estate chatting with them and Pooh’s Pal, we were offered bowls of ice cream for a treat. It was a favorite flavor of the little guy’s… Superman or something like that… and it was colored gaudy shades of pink, yellow, and… blue. I do not need to tell you what was observed this morning here in Sandland… 🙄

Really?  You must need more veggies in your diet!

i went to yoga for the first time in two weeks, since the onset of that bursitis stuff.  It was yin (slow sustained), but for the part I could participate throughout.

And I feel good.

I had veggies for lunch yesterday. They were green. Maybe too green… 😈

Pat, I was just about to write that we saw two big fields of sunflowers on 73, just west of 39 a bit but it looks you found them already.

Becca, we are headed west in a couple weeks … taking the grandkids to the Black Hills.

Hope Bill’s appointment gave you good news, Jim.  I didn’t finish the Delorme pages and only got a virtual in Taylor Cty.  They don’t take very good care of caches in that part of the state, maybe had 5 DNFs that CO hasn’t logged in for a year or two.

Added Hennipen Cty to my MN list.  Silly P&G on the top floor of a parking ramp.  Not as fun as the archived one in Madison.  Wasting time til chosen place opened for breakfast.

Birdin, you need to message me what the thing with your hip feels like cuz mine ached big time all night.  Starting the ice and tylenol routine now that we are home.

If I had divided all this up into individual posts, the next FTP would have been mine … maybe. 🙂

Nope, these were east of Friendship at the intersection of 10th and Czech… north of “Trillium Trail” and our “Logging” caches. We knew the fields were there, but today as he rode his bike, Mr. S spotted them blooming. Then we drove out there to spend some quality time with the flowers. Should be good for a while.

I came across one driving around down by Gays Mills a few years back. It was featured on a Wisconsin Public TV show about cooking and food in Wisconsin later. I tried to find it a couple years ago, but they must have put the crops into rotation. There’s another one down around Reedsburg.

I remember reading “My Father’s Dragon” to my boys and at one point, one character tells another….”You will be a birdseed farmer.” We all laughed, until we realized…well, yeah, that’s often what the sunflowers are for!

A lot of the area farmers have grown sunflowers over the years. Not sure if it’s for bird seed or for people snacks or both, but they do rotate the crops in and out. This field has been peas, green beans, sweet corn, maybe potatoes… It’s big time irrigation farming.

It’s always a delight to spot a field of these yellow blooms.
