Happy Sunday. It’s a beautiful one here at the ranch. It’s raining, the trees are turning green right before our eyes, the flowers are blooming and I have my nose to the ground, inspecting, documenting and making sure I don’t miss a single bloom.
Wildflower season is my absolute favorite time of year, an obsession that started with a 4-H project and has continued throughout my life.
This week’s column attempts to explains that fascination a bit.
Coming Home: My love of wildflowers started young

Lord, when I die, bring me back as a wildflower on the North Dakota Prairie.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... 
As I am out on my 4-wheeler I am constantly looking for wild prairie flowers! I love the beautiful colors they add to the prairie. When I am not busy chasing cattle I get off and photograph them.
I was a 4-H and showing cattle was my passion. I, too, was a Grand Champion ribbon seeker.

I loved the prairie roses and they still have a presence all over my house in the form of porcelain, stitchery and pictures. I used to pluck the petals and eat them, which I found out, is good for you. Excellent article.
Thanks, Jessie! Wanted to let you know, I nominated you for the WordPress Family Award. http://tales2apoint.wordpress.com/2013/05/20/wordpress-family-award/
i have a similar obsession to you, but i live on the other side of the world, where the flowers and the weather are very different, but just as beautiful
