Wide opened eyes look at my garden today, having caught a whiff of spring’s promise in the air. Beloved though they may be, the long tresses of foxtails that flow with the breeze required a thinning today. Long hair requires trimming of the split ends, and weeds, left too long in the garden do tend to take it over. Fascinating even when pulled from the ground, this weed and its companion offer a glimpse of the beauty down under.
Please come back tomorrow for a new “Weed Image of the Day” and let me know which ones you like.
We and our weeds are so much more than what we first appear to be.
I am inspired by things that grow in the ground and blow in the wind. I like to play in the dirt, especially when planting something, and can talk to trees. I like to look closely at things that at first seem small, insignificant, dried out, or contrary. Weeds may not welcome me with swollen blossoms, but the visual treasure they offer up, are well worth a look. Do you agree? I hope that these images of the oft-overlooked pest of our gardens and yards may give to you some delight, hope, or a new thought to make your daily journey just a little bit more inspired.
