    The Podunk in my pic does not exist on a Graves County Kentucky map, you will see Fairbanks which is the given name but the locals have called it Podunk for so long they convinced the Road Dept. to put up an official sign at each end of "Town" which are less than a half mile apart..........LOL

    Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

        While Podunk is a good place for Social distancing, I think Bob's sign captures the currant Socio-political climate very well. BATFAM for me this week.

                  Not riding til the salt gets washed off the roads, so gotta use one from the archives. Not that I'd find anything in bloom now, anyway.

                                July 2018 (my first summer of retirement)
                                Not too far off one on favorite afternoon rides, a gravel road that goes downhill and curves out of sight, and I knew went toeward river and a marschy area. Previously I had always just past on bye. So, since I had the time, I went that way, and found, at a creek and a bridge, these wild flowers growing way up to level of the bridge.
                                At first they seemed like the lilleys I have been familiar with.THey looked alot like the lilley in our backyard and at various places along road. But after a while I noticed the flower head is different in that it hangs down instead of pointing up. And had more prominent spots. . Made me wonder what must be different in the seed or whatever to determine that difference, or if I took some from my backyard and planted them here in a marsch would they grow different. Pondered a while, and I suppose that would be a deep study of botany and DNA and genitics and such. Was quite a memerable experience, maybe because was such a different expereince going for ride on a day of retirment (verses weekend or day off when working).
                                Continued along on my ride. Never really did look into it too much further, other than did find what these are called something like Wild Marsch Tiger Lilley (but I suspect not properly recalling now).

                                FOr general reference, these are what I am more accustome to




                                First pic is my entry, maybe not the more apealing pic, but for me it is because of what I recall of the expereince (which I know is not contained nor conveyed in the pic).
