Thriving In The Wheatfield

Walk through the Peach Orchard and look at those of young trees there; stroll down along Wheatfield Road and you'll see browning grass; make your way through the winding road that snakes through Devil's Den, up and around the Triangular Field and you'll see more of the same. The scorching heat has browned most of the grass; the trees in some areas are wilted, dead or just about dying, but bypass Cross Avenue and walk down along the Wheatfield where you will see all of the above, but something that just jumps out at you...these yellow blooms shooting upward out of the weeds! We all know that weeds will thrive in any kind of climate; but it's a miracle that any kind of flower at all would survive this opressive heat; in some spots only the weeds are surviving.

I'm a sucker for a yellow flower! Pretty young things they are!
