Sunset over Goldenrod/ Sky Watch

Driving north on a north-south East Gwillimbury road, my husband and I stopped to enjoy this lovely sunset over a field covered with gold...er...the much maligned but innocent goldenrod. Unfortunately for goldenrod, it blooms at the same time as sneaky insignificant-looking ragweed, the REAL culprit.

Most North Americans don't appreciate goldenrod for its beauty, probably because it's so common, but I've heard Europeans grow it in their gardens. And in the past few years a couple of really nice cultivated varieties have begun to be sold for Canadian gardens too. Not in my gardens though because goldenrod is in the fields all around me already. ;-)

Old Barns/ Fave Things

Yes, I LOVE old barns. I usually prefer them to be in better shape than this one, but even in disrepair this one is a beauty.
