Osteospermum hybrid.
A fun sort of flower, this little purple blossom with spoon-like appendages.

For those of you not intimate with University of Wisconsin sports, the UW-Madison teams are the Badgers. As in “Go, Wisconsin Badgers!”
Brocach is the Gaelic word for Badger Den. What a great name for a Madison pub on the Capitol Square, just across the street from the State Capitol building.
This wonderful bagpiper was playing at Saturday’s Farmers Market.
It’s been very wet in Wisconsin. We seem to be smack dab in the middle of a ‘system’ that is dumping rain and unstable weather on us. Over four inches of the stuff fell yesterday and tornadoes were spawned throughout the Midwest all weekend. I spent a few hours in Chicago on Saturday, and my husband and I dodged 4 different twisters on our 3 hour trip home. One tornado crossed an interstate highway southwest of Chicago, knocking over semis in the lanes going both directions, closing down both roads and generally causing havoc, but no injuries I heard mention.
Definitely tornado feeders visiting in the Midwest. A good day to attend to business indoors.
June is Dairy Month. And so on Saturday we brought the dairy to downtown Madison so lots of people could share in the cow experience.
“Cows on the Concourse” is a Madison tradition celebrating Wisconsin’s dairy industry. The state is known as “America’s Dairyland” and for good reason.
Yes, there are real cows and calves in a place of honor on the street only a hundred yards from the State Capitol building.
Cameras were everywhere as people documented the event. Lots of kids were getting “up close and personal”, petting the cows and their babies.
Though at least one mama cow wasn’t too keen on the idea.
The milk was really moo-ving. At a buck a bottle, you could enjoy your favorite drink – yummy! Though not quite fresh from the cow, you did get your choice of chocolate, strawberry or regular.
And to go with the milk? Why grilled cheese, of course. Another buck deal, and at a dollar for a sandwich, the lines were phenomenal. I went home and made my own.
What’s in the pots in the middle of these gigantic grills? Butter, of course. Wisconsin isn’t the Dairy State for nothing!
I saw this beaded car in a parking lot hemmed in on all sides, but I took lots of photos anyway. Have you ever seen quite such a vehicle? Do you think the car’s name is Claire?
Here’s the driver’s door. Wonder what kinds of comments and donations the owner gets?
In case you can’t tell, this is the roof.
And here’s a take on the rear. Check out the Viking ship along the bottom of the window. If I were following this car down the road, I’d have a hard time keeping my eyes on the road, that is for sure.
Just one more reason to keep a camera available at all times. You really never know what you are going to see next. And how would you ever describe this car without photo proof? Who would ever believe you!
