THOSE PESKY INVADERS Part One

Yesterday, one of our first warm Spring days of the year, the community of "Inner-Monastery" (that unruly bunch, me, myself and I) began our venture outside to scout the grounds for any of those 'malevolent' weeds we like to keep ahead of. At the top of our list, of course, were those weeds if left alone and allowed to multiply, will be very fruitful indeed! Until you will see them absolutely everywhere!

This is the varmint (highly invasive plant) we set off to find:

Garlic Mustard (Alliaria Petiolata)

                        ...To be continued..

Commune - Ism

When I was watering plants yesterday, I found myself thinking how Karl Marx's communism is like my strawberry patch.. All generously interconnected.. But I also thought with life (and human nature) as we know it, is it possible? Some movers and shakers will likely leave, or government is placed over it!
