Stop To Smell

This is a great time of the year to stop and smell not just the roses, but lots of really pretty things that are growing along the highways and backwoods of Wisconsin.

I put about 100 miles on the bicycle this holiday weekend and noticed it's starting to look and smell very nice out there these days. The flox are starting to bloom across the rural countryside right now. They are purple and white flowers that give off a really great perfume as the evening hours approach. There are a lot of them along the Southwest Bike Path and the Military Ridge Trail.

Of course it's hard to beat the Arboretum for the sights and smells of late spring. I stopped off there today to catch the tail end of the lilacs in bloom. That's always a great show and this year was no exception. The picture above is of the blooming trees that grace the Arboretum.

Cheers,
