Mother's Day Ride

Another beautiful day for riding!  We traveled around 300 miles and headed for western Tennessee.  The temperature when we started today was around 65 degrees.  However, by noon the temperature was around 85 degrees.  The sun felt like a ball of fire on my skin.  Needless to say, we shed our coats and heavy shirts very early in the day!  I always find it difficult to make that first transition  into a different season.

I have seen fields with a small amount of these yellow flowers in them.  On today's ride there were entire fields with these yellow flowers.

Some of the fields almost appeared to have been planted with the yellow flowers.  They were that thick!

  

  I just haven't been able to find out what these flowers actually are. Are they loved or hated by the farmers who work these fields?

 These fields are beautiful and make the landscape quite stunning.

I hope someone will be able to give me a little more information.
