Rolling Stone Quilt Block and Walking Wednesdays

Rolling Stone Quilt Block

Walking Wednesdays is a new weekly feature of my blog, focusing on my walks and the sites that I see along the way throughout the week.  Of course, I will tie each walking adventure into a quilt block! 


This week I walked around my neighborhood. 
Up high, I see large, sandstone rock formations in some of my neighbor's yards.
 

 Down by my feet, I see Wild Geraniums 
 
 
Common Daisy or Oxeye Daisy
 
 
Trailing Daisy or Whiplash Daisy
(the flowers are only 1/2 - 3/4" wide)


 Red Clover
 
 
Field Bindweed up close

 
and growing all alongside the road




Yellow Stonecrop with flowers only 1/4" wide


Creamy Thistle or Prairie Thistle



 Elkweed, also known as Green Gentian, Monument Plant, or Deer's Ears


And at eye level, I see Mountainspray
The wood would supposedly not burn so was used by Native Americans
to make roasting tongs and by pioneers to make wooden nails.

  2. That pretty hunk of sandstone doesn't look like it will be rolling anywhere soon. I love the variety of wild flowers along your walk.
