Oh my!
Every summer these gorgeous blooms burst forth from a dark blanket of green groundcover foilage. They shame me for thinking that their ugly, low growing plant bodies are no better than weeds.
Do you ever wonder how often we think these sorts of things about one another?
Awww c'mon! Think about it!
We do it all the time...or have you forgotten about how everyone likes to make fun of the guy with the una-brow? Hey, let's not forget about the fat girl or the old guy with hair growing out of his ears!
It is to our collective shame, that we make fun of one another at all.
We shouldn't be so quick to dismiss or deride.
Isn't life hard enough already?

it is beautiful............
one reason I let the 'weeds' grow a bit in my yard is that they often have lovely flowers.........
by my definition a weed is any plant growing where it shouldn't be in my yard...........
so thistles still bloom & the goldfinches love our yard
