We only drove about 8 miles on the road because we had to get back in time for work at 3 PM and we needed to have our dinner before work. We took many pictures of wildflowers along the way, some of which were new to us:
Starting with Chokecherry:
and then Wild Blue Flax:
Yellow Salsify or Goatsbeard:
Low Hawksbeard:
Scarlet Gilia:
Longleaf Phlox:
and finally, lots of Helianthella:
Josie decided to cut some of these Helianthella and make an arrangement in a vase when we got home:
We are getting enough photos of all these wildflowers to make our own book of wildflowers in the Tetons. It is a haven for these flowers and they sure add to the beauty of the area.
There was a birthday party for Virginia (her 89th) - the nice lady that owns the Lodge - during our shift in the afternoon. It was a surprise party and we got another chance to chat with her and wish her well. She has many homes around the country, including 3 in Hawaii, and she is staying at her beautiful home near the Jackson Golf and Tennis Club close to the airport. She also owns a ranch house south of Jackson in the Wyoming hills. Her main residence is in San Diego. We have concluded that the Virginian Lodge is not her primary source for income and the value of her estate probably runs in the hundreds of millions.
We received notice that our bikes are in and being assembled at the shop in Jackson where we purchased them. Because of our schedules, we will not be able to pick them up before tomorrow and we are looking forward to doing some pleasant bike riding this summer in our free time...
