Cows always stare and stare and stare at me. I've come to appreciate that kind of undivided attention. So, yes, you should be offended.

What a wonderful post, not only for the personal story of your grandfather but also as a reminder that so many of us are connected to Europe in ways we might never know.

So interesting! Too bad you didn't know while you were here. Yes, you must come back!

Thanks for the confidence, but most of my IDs are based on internet searches and eyeballing photos for similarities, so they are often highly suspect.

Looks like you are correct!

You’re the best, Bill. Thanks.

Thanks, Bill!

I had one person confirm Rough Chervil (Chaerophyllum temulum).

And get this, from Wikipedia: Chaerophyllum temulum has been used in folk medicine, in small doses, to treat arthritis, dropsy, and chronic skin complaints, and as a spring tonic. The early modern physician Boerhaave (1668–1738) once successfully used a decoction of the herb combined with Sarsaparilla to treat a woman suffering from leprosy – **in the course of which treatment temporary blindness was a severe side effect following each dose.**

iNaturalist told me the same.

Barley has long hair

Thanks. So glad we rode it together.

I was worried too, but I was sitting almost upright and it was so adjustable I had no problems. Except dealing with a too-large frame and a real heavyweight.
