thistles, beauty and beast



Thistles get a bad rap in morals stories.  It's a bad intruder into the garden.  It hurts to pull them, but it's a joy to look when they blossom.  And their seeds, each outfitted in down, look like they dance away from the pod.  If you like honey you have to let your bees forage somewhere.  So, to spray to not to spray was the question for me today.  The photogenic ones here I left stand--for a while anyways.
