We're here one more night in Cambridge and tomorrow will be biking back to the trailer which is parked on a farm about 12 miles south of town. I guess it depends on your route. I think we'll be biking a loop down toward the Harriet Tubman visitor center and the Blackwater Refuge before circling back to the trailer. Then we load up and move to Harrington, Delware for the weekend. After that we go to Silver Spring, Maryland for 3 weeks.
2 years agoWe've always had an interest in poking around old cemeteries. You can actually learn a lot about the area by reading the headstones. I remember seeing some in Kansas and North Dakota that were all written in German because that's who settled around there. And we're also big on history.
I thought I had everything we would need on this little trip but found out that we'd forgotten to bring a comb or brush, Q tips, chapstick and razors! Sheesh! Oh well, the hotel had a couple of things and the rest we'll do without until we return to the trailer tomorrow.
Thanks. Maybe I'll get a picture that shows the leaves. But they do look like a buttercup to me.
2 years agoMight be tall buttercup, but can't be sure without a clear shot of the leaves.

Marilyn,
This is truly a near miss! Kerry and I will be at the Holiday Inn Express in Cambridge on the 18th and 19th, then moving on to Easton, MD for three nights the 20th thru 22nd. Let me know if we can cross paths in there somehow.

It's fun to tour, even if a short distance.
One of my favorite tours was a solo overnight camping to Rifle Gap State Park. Suddenly, because I was on tour, all of the sights seemed new and fresh! I forgot my burrito on the counter, and ended up eating a half a cantaloupe for dinner. That was supposed to be dessert, but ended up being the main course!
I like cemeteries also. Jacinto thinks that is an odd pastime.
Thanks Bill.

Thanks, but I think I would steer clear of anything that had 3 leaves!
2 years agoDewberry. Notice the tiny thorns. The leaf incisions are too regular for PI. PI would have rootlets on the creeping stem. Yummy black berries in another month or so.

I wonder if she lived near St George? That's a warmer part of the state. We saw pomegranate trees with fruit on them in people's yards.
2 years agoWeird name! Thanks Bill.
2 years agoThanks Bill. It may be invasive but it sue does smell sweet!

Probably sweetgum. Sycamore seed balls fall apart into small fragments. Those things are a menace though.
