a break in the deluge

We had more rain last week than I can ever remember getting in August.

Goldenrod. Please admire water droplets (click for bigger version, if you like). I had been having trouble getting the little camera to focus on close-up stuff, so was quite pleased to see it even got the droplets on the goldenrod.




Pokeberry. Not only a weed, but a toxic one. I should get rid of it. Soonest.

Somehow needing to boil in three changes of water and then throw all the cooking water away just puts me off eating the stuff........
