Wildflowers as far as the eye could look. What you can't see in the photo is the electric fence that gave me an electric shock when I held the camera in between the wires to get it out of the image. Luckily, my camera didn't suffer any damage from it.

Yarrow reaches for the sky on a November morning. There's many types of yarrow, all growing wild around here. But this variety is my favorite. It grows in bushes, is tall, sturdy, and the dried flowers stay on to provide cheerful color all winter long.

This is a close up of a rare pink yarrow that I have discovered out in the countyside. I have been searching for one of those for a while and here it is for you to enjoy!

When I came upon these golden Yarrow flowers, I had no idea this grouping contained a bit of magic. Perhaps I have a spider to thank....or some tiny fairies?
Traditional medicine

A. millefolium was used as in traditional medicine, possibly due to its astringent effects. Yarrow and its North American varieties were traditionally used by many Native American nations.The Navajo historically considered it a "life medicine" and chewed the plant for toothaches and used its infusions for earaches. The Miwok in California used the plant as an analgesic and head cold remedy. Native American nations used the plant for healing cuts and abrasions, for relief of ear-aches, and throat infections, and for an eye-wash. Common yarrow was used by Plains indigenous peoples to reduce pain or fever and aid sleep.
In the early 20th century, some Ojibwe people used a decoction of yarrow leaves on hot stones and inhaled it to treat headaches, or applied decoctions of the root onto skin for its stimulating effect.
