Thanks for looking it up and sharing the info!! I found out in the few days since you posted this that my hubby's favorite mountain wildflower is rather similar. (We're in Idaho.)

Artwork featuring a woman holding her strong arms over the heads of three young children in protection

"Seed Corn Must Not Be Ground" final lithograph of KΓ€the Kollwitz, 1942. The death of her son in battle in 1914 profoundly affected the artist, who expressed her grief by creating many prints on the theme of mothers protecting their children from the horrors of war #WomensArt

Such Great Heights 9781250363381 - Macmillan The definitive history of 21st century indie rockβ€”from Iron & Wine and Death Cab for Cutie to Phoebe Bridgers and St. Vincentβ€”and how the genre shift...

Today is my birthday, and I'm not above leveraging that for book sales. As a gift to me, if you're interested in indie music 2000-2020 (and its gradual metamorphosis into pop), pre-order SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS: The Complete Cultural History of the Indie Rock Explosion and recirculate this post.

My oldest has been taking drum lessons, so yesterday I finally got him a kit. He knocked about on it at first, but then I told him to do quarter notes, and I played some power chords, and we locked in. β€œDad, we just wrote a song! We should release it!” he said. Buddy, you just invented punk rock.

Hot pink Liatris flowers in a field of green prairie grasses @Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie

My favorite summer flower is Liatris πŸ’• Have you ever walked through a field of these flowers? It's a funny sensation! They are heavier than expected, especially covered in morning dew. The big blooms thump softly against your legs as you walk through them.
