We went up to the Cloudcroft Lodge for breakfast this morning in Wesley's 1930 Model A Ford! Wow! First time in a rumble seat!
Later, Wilma and I took a short wildflower drive. Again, this has been a hard year for plants to grow, but she knew where to find some beauties.
 |
| Sweet Pea must grow everywhere! |
 |
| Locust Tree |
 |
| This is what a Cholla cactus bloom looks like (not yellow)! |
 |
Only one Prickly Pear cactus bloom, but lots of buds, so we should see more of this.
 |
 |
We stopped at a place along the road where there was a spring on the hillside
and it was covered with this variety of Yellow Columbine |
 |
| Musk Thistle or Carduus nutans; and here I thought purple thistle was purple thistle! |
 |
| Bull Thistle or Cirsium vulgare, and a Swallowtail friend |
We got back to the house just before a rainstorm! Hurray! We had a good soaking rain and needed it badly!!!
