Ohio Spiderwort or Bluejacket

Haven't seen it along the roads till this week. As kids we always called it a "snot flower" because of the sticky liquid in its stem.

Seek & Find #13: Mother and Waiting Children

The mother waited long enough for me to get a pic, or was she waiting for something else? Then a big black pickup came around the corner and stopped because of the deer. The three hidden babies squirted out one at a time, coming out of the brush on the other side. Luckily the truck kept waiting. Unfortunately it all happened too quickly to get any more pics.

From "Ward No. 6"

 "No matter . . ." thought Andrey Yefimitch, wrapping himself in his dressing-gown in a shamefaced way and feeling that he looked like a convict in his new costume. "It's no matter. . . . It does not matter whether it's a dress-coat or a uniform or this dressing-gown. 

"But how about his watch? And the notebook that was in the side-pocket? And his cigarettes? Where had Nikita taken his clothes? Now perhaps to the day of his death he would not put on trousers, a waistcoat, and high boots. It was all somehow strange and even incomprehensible at first. Andrey Yefimitch was even now convinced that there was no difference between his landlady's house and Ward No. 6, that everything in this world was nonsense and vanity of vanities. And yet his hands were trembling, his feet were cold, and he was filled with dread at the thought that soon Ivan Dmitritch would get up and see that he was in a dressing-gown. He got up and walked across the room and sat down again.
