Echinacea

Today we’re on the road again, crisscrossing the cornfields, racing the freight trains. That said, here’s some Echinacea for you – found growing in a hearty clump outside the Senior Center here in town. When cousin Lesley took this photo, I was sick as a dog with a summer cold. Pointed to it and said, “This here is a medicinal flower,” trying to instruct like I was the Edward Abbey of Iowa City. Lesley: “Then maybe you should eat some.”
