ouch!


Despite the cool weather, I have noticed several of these thistle plants popping up in my yard! I am not a big believer in herbicides, but I may have to use some this year.

It definitely would be a pain to do so, but less of a pain than it would be to go barefoot in the yard!

They look beautifully devilish. Cool. Are they some sort of Thistle?

We've got snow again today. No sign of Spring anytime soon.

I think some birds use the thistle (after it dries on the stalk) for neswting material. Maybe just don't go barefoot in the yard.
