summer lace

summer lace

Queen Anne, Queen Anne, has washed her lace
(She chose a summer's day)
And hung it in a grassy place
To whiten, if it may.

Queen Anne, Queen Anne, has left it there,
And slept the dewy night;
Then waked, to find the sunshine fair,
And all the meadows white. (by Mary Leslie Newton)

I came across some beautiful photography of Queen Anne's Lace wildflowers (Daucus carota) by Brian Johnston

How did you guess.

Skippy favorite thing is to run through a field of wildflowers!

Especially if they are nice and tall. Then he bounds like a rabbit and comes out covered with seeds of all types.
