Hello Oodie, how are you and your husband doing?
We had some good rain last night, it poured. I hope it stopped by your area too.
We called the doctor this morning for his cough. They believe its scaring from the breathing tube. The nurse last time she was here checked his lungs for fluid and didn’t find any. It happens mostly after he eats and at night.
I hope you and I will be able to meet one day. Would be nice to sit talk and enjoy a meal. Perhaps after you and your hubby get back from your trip to the North. And my hubby is fully recovered, able to drive and back at work.
Take care Oodie 🏖🏖🏖🏖🏖🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝

Thank you, it was a very nice viewing and service. Certainly not how you want to spend two days but such is life.😌 BIL back in hospital with fluid around his lungs. It’s been a crazy week.

Going up to mom’s tomorrow to say goodbye to sis, each time it gets harder. I so wish she would move back here but that won’t happen, just me daydreaming and hoping.🙄 Mom Fridays for at least two months.

Hope you had a good Thursday. Keep all those animals in line, could be a stampede for your attention. I think I heard Bindi Irwin was coming to Oz for some pointers!🤣 Sending hugs to you and Poppy.🤗😍

Weedy Wonders

One person’s weed is another person’s wildflower.

Simply expressed, a weed is any plant that grows where it isn’t wanted. Weeds are defined by their tendency to flourish at the expense of a gardener’s overall vision, and we tend to battle their presence in our yards. It is interesting to consider, though, that a plant is a weed only within a certain context, which is to say that one person’s weed is another person’s wildflower. Most of us have pulled at least one dandelion up by its roots and disposed of it in the interest of preserving the look of a perfect green lawn, yet the dandelion is good medicine, packed with healing properties and vitamin-rich leaves that are a delicious, spicy surprise in a summer salad.

In the wild, there is no such thing as a weed because the overall vision is in the hands of Mother Nature, who accommodates and incorporates all forms of life. In nature, balance is achieved over the long term, without the aid, or interference, of a human supervisor. While one plant may prevail over others for a certain period of time, eventually it will reach an apex and then it will naturally decline, allowing for other forms to be born and survive. This self-regulating realm was the first garden of our ancestors, who learned the art of agriculture from studying the forests and fields of the as yet uncultivated earth. In a sense, weeds are harbingers of this wildness, pushing their way into our well-ordered plots, undermining more delicate flora, and flourishing in spite of us.

The next time you see a weed, you might want to look deeply into its roots, discover its name, its habits, and its possible uses. Instead of seeing an unwanted intruder, you might see a healer offering its leaves for a medicinal tea or its flowers for a colorful salad. At the very least, if you look long enough, you will see a messenger from the wilderness of Mother Earth, reminding you that, even in the most carefully controlled garden, she cannot be completely ruled out.

AMEN! ✨✨
