One thing that’s fun about living in a forest is there are wildflowers everywhere. They surround us, scattered through the forest… and there are also many “intentional” flowers planted in various places around the house. The previous owner really enjoyed flowers, and actually had a gardener who took care of the beds. (We’ve let them “go native” a bit, so it doesn’t look as nice as it did back then.)
Because it was such a pretty day, I decided to wander the property a bit and photograph the variety of flowers. Here are some samples.
Okay, the one above is probably a weed. But it’s still pretty! And I spotted a spider sunning himself:
While not technically flowers, I like the tufts of tall grass we have along our driveway. Flathead Lake is in the (fuzzy) background:
Finally, another non-flower but what I thought was an interesting photo. We have pinecones scattered everywhere in the grass… they’re a menace to the mower, which chews them up with a satisfying crunch and then spews bits everywhere.
On a whim, we bought a bag of wildflower seeds at Lowe’s the other day, and we keep telling ourselves we’re going to scatter them along the driveway and see what comes up…
