Goldenrod, a Bee, and a Spider
The goldenrod is blooming and it’s lovely. I can hardly stop sneezing when I’m near it, but a long lens really helps a lot. Although to be fair, nothing entirely stops the sneezing, the gritty eyes, and the hoarse voice. They come with the territory of pollen.
Whoever said “allergies don’t make you sick” never had allergies.

My golden rod are also flowring, but for the last time. They are actually now forbidden according to our gardener and classified as weed. Mine are a remainder of some seeds from another plant, and I really no longer want them.

They are weeds here, too, but they are pretty and when they show up, I let them be. The bees love them.

I had to hunt for that spider but I found him. I wonder if insects ever have allergies?

Mine are gone already – cut them back this afternoon….. some look at them as ‘weeds’ but most weeds are just flowers with the wrong name (except dandelions and thistles, growing wildly in my garden!!!) and I always leave them grow for the bees, insects and beatles.

My garden, which a week ago looked dead, has decided it’s still summer, so the roses came back along with goldenrod and a HUGE bunch of rhododendrons, which are blooming. This is been a strange weather year.

Rhodos shouldn’t be blooming now…. Mine, a big one with red flowers died within about 2 weeks this summer…. It was planted under a huge Linden tree which must have sucked up all the water and left nothing to its roots….
