Camomille

As we all know, camomille is supposed to calm the nerves. Unfortunately, it's never held appeal, though I sure could've used a calmative. The place was swarmimg, SWARMING I tell you, with ATVs and shootists.




The first set showed up bright and early at 8:30...a mere 200 feet away! To get revenge I got out the accordion. Thing was, it sounded pretty good. I suspect I was more surprised than they, but it worked; they soon left.

Too exhausted from the excitement of Phoebe's repairs and meeting Sherry in Benson to contend with the onslaught, I put in earplugs, took off my clothes, except for a white shirt to protect from the sun, and ambled up the hill across the way (see video. Fear not, I'm not in it.).



That held 'em off for awhile, but once back at camp I was no longer so obvious and it wasn't long before another batch showed up.

Finally, around 4 pm, with them blamming away, I managed to pack up and leave. They tell me on Tuesdays and/or Wednesdays I'd likely have it to myself.

  1. wowow it looks so gorgeous. I read this chamomile is not the one used for tea. and i read it is invasive. I never am never too worried about invasive species, but this breath taking super bloom, looks somewhat scary if you think it is not a native species. What do you think? Does it crowd out the native species? Here i never feel that is the case, but seeing this i wonder. Still the main thing to me, is the glory of it all.

      But then, consider the source.
