Ocotillo cactus, Tuscon, AZ
Not a true cactus, its spines remain stark until the rains come. The monsoons bring green leaves that are fanciful and petite. Orange flower clusters dot the tops of the spines.

Come light and linger

Creep among the cracks and stones

Be bright and seek grace

“True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.”

Socrates, we continue to benefit from your common sense.

 

 

Lush green fields with a rambling stream.

An alternative lawn system?

Lawns are green where I live in Virginia. Many folks work very hard at keeping their green spaces weed free. Countless well manicured neighborhoods pay herbicide companies to lay down fertilizers and weed killers.  Virginia lawn services busily mix-up and spread the “death cocktails” for the eradication of the clover and dandelions.

Please note the protective mesh that surrounds the dandelions in the lush gardens at Blarney Castle, Ireland.  No lawnmower is going to mow these beauties down and no polluting herbicides are taking them out of the natural environment.  Protected dandelions

Label them a weed.

Refer to them as a flower.

I go with flower.
