Some people take enormous pride on how neat and tidy they keep their yards and around their houses. I on the other hand would much rather spend my precious free time doing something I enjoy like hanging out with the baby or biking. Well the apathy toward the weeds has resulted in a tall thistle right in front of our kitchen window and a huge sprawling thorny clump of blackberries on the back side of garage. This might bother some people but the thistle attracts a finch that will sit and eat the seeds no more than a foot from the window and we recently discovered that little Lillian absolutely loves fresh blackberries. I couldn't help but think of my favorite kid's book "Blueberries for Sal". Sure I lawn will never win any awards from BETTER HOMES & GARDENS but who needs awards when you have berries.
