What are these?

I have no idea. There are so many little wildflowers growing in and around the vineyards that I'm still finding some I haven't yet noticed, let alone identified.

Anybody know?

Ken found corn on the cob in the supermarket yesterday. That's rare for these parts. So he got some for today's lunch. I'll grill burgers to go with them. Bacon cheeseburgers. Yum.

  2. Thanks to Cristina. I didn’t even have to try. I’ve been craving a bacon cheeseburger lately. See you in a few hours.

  3. Hi there, I just came over from Mitchell's blog.( I liked your comment!!) I pointed my not very good plant identifier app at your photo, and it came up with knotweed, smartweed and waterpepper the first time. A 2nd attempt gave pinkweed, which I think it might be.

  4. Ooooh, bacon cheeseburger sounds sooooo good! You're probably eating them right now, as it's about 1:00 pm chez vous. Enjoy!
