Weed Appreciation Day TT96

Weed Appreciation Day . . . and not that type of weed but the ones that people spend an inordinate amount of time poisoning and yanking out of their precious gardens by the root as if they were a land mine!

Without Dill our pickles would be bland.  Without Hemp ancient mariners wouldn't have been able to set their sails.  Mustard?!  Hot dogs and hamburgers are only a couple of things we season with mustard.  The Dandelion is chock full of vitamins A, B, C, and D as well as minerals iron, potassium and zinc.

Weeds are so spirited and strong they thrive even in the cracks of the sidewalk. 

Today the fellas arrived and began to prep the house for painting.  What is interesting is that we discovered that the house was originally grey!  It was blue when Kent bought it and we have kept it that the past 30 years.  Of all the colours we could have chosen to change it to we decided on grey.
