Queen Anne's lace. I believe it is a form of wild carrot.

Dan, looks like yours is getting ready to go to seed. As summer progresses they curl into a ball and dry up. When fully flowered look for the small brown protuberance in the middle of the white flower head. This is a positive sign of Queen Anne's Lace and not Water Hemlock, which is poisonous.

iSnap identifies it as Wild Carrot

One and the same.

If you dip the flower in pancake batter and fry it, they can be quite tasty.
