First some advice...
There were a couple of other possibilities, and since it's a volunteer by the road, I'd go for something in the weed classification...er. wildflower!
And a newsletter gave me an interesting list of bills that have passed lately.
03/11/2021 American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, a sweeping $1.9 trillion relief to address the continued impact of COVID-19 on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals, and businesses.
11/15/2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, $1.2 trillion investment in “hard infrastructure” including roads and bridges.
03/29/2022, Emmett Till Antilynching Act, 120 years after an anti-lynching bill was first introduced and after failing on nearly 200 prior occasions, Congress passed a bill designating lynching as a hate crime. Only three representatives—one each from Texas, Kentucky, and Georgia—voted against the bill.
06/25/22 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, extended background checks for gun purchasers under 21, funding for state red flag laws and other crisis intervention programs, and partial closure of the “boyfriend” loophole.
07/29/2022 CHIPS and Science Act, the most significant research bill passed in a generation, including a $56 billion investment in American semiconductor production to incentivize companies to move chip production back into the United States.
08/02/2022, Honoring our PACT Act of 2022, provides healthcare and other services related to veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during military service.
08/07/2022, Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the largest climate investment in US history, lowers prescription drug prices by giving Medicare the power to negotiate the prices of certain prescription drugs and extends expiring health care subsidies for three years.
Today's quotes:
The above list is from

Good quote!

DeleteGreat quote! The wildflowers are pretty and I love the hanging basket of flowers. It is good new bills are getting passed. Take care, have a great new week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen...the basket is gone! I looked for it the day after taking this photo, no flowers! I wonder if the neighbor is sick or moving...
Delete...my kids taught me the value of picking my battles!
ReplyDeleteThey can definitely do that.

ReplyDeleteI could post that on the bathroom mirror.
DeleteI was curious because I have seen that plant also. Evening primrose blooms in the morning as well as in the evening. https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/drive-by-botany-frost-aster-and-evening-primrose
ReplyDeleteAh...thanks for looking it up! Yep that confirms it alright!
DeleteI have a memory of a pop-up flower like that. I can’t remember if I ever determined for sue if it was Evening Primrose in the days well before phone ID.
ReplyDeleteYes, friend Linda (above) just found a good site, including a photo of the pop-up primroses by the road.
