Thorns Under A Layer Of Ice
Thorns Under A Layer Of Ice

I carry my thorns with me. When my heart is cold, I layer ice over them to insulate, to protect, to shut down. And when I thaw, watch yourself. Ouch!

This weed looks like it might be having a tough day. So it is both warning others to stay away, and protecting what lies inside the tightly closed thorn adorned pieces of its heart. One thing about weeds is, no matter how badly you treat them, they always grow back. Here’s hoping that today, all my weeds are treated well.

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. We and our weeds are so much more than what we first appear to be.
