Yesterday was the First Wednesday outing and eight of us braved the heat. Well, nine including Briar.

There were multiple plants of the rare Narrow-leaf Morning-glory (Ipomoea shumardiana) showing off!
Well, if y’all are going to stand around and talk, time to take a break.
Briar quickly found a place to cool off.

Briar thought the Blue Mud-plantain was pretty smart. LOL.
Claire pointed out the green ground bees with their little holes spaced out in the dirt.

Everyone survived the morning! Indeed Briar had the right idea for the hot morning.
Happy 4th of July!

Yes Briar has the right idea in this weather! Happy 4th! I hear cooler weather is on the way – fingers crossed for a bit of wet stuff too
Sweet Briar. Glad she got to go too.
Briar was a welcome addition to our merry band. She knows how to keep her cool!
Briar was so thrilled to join. (Me too!). Every arriving car contained friends!!
