The bane of allergy sufferers this time of the year, goldenrod is a lovely-to-look-at plant. My field guide list 62 varieties and, while didn't take the time to identify this specimen, it is a common weed in the this part of Michigan.
In Michigan's Thumb, the drifts of goldenrod enhance the yellow and green color scheme of the ripening dry bean fields. Red and orange are yet to come in the fall color palette.
The weather has turned cool and windy in the Thumb. It's as if Labor Day stepped to the front of the weather queue and said, "My turn!"
