Job Security!

        One view might be that sin is job security for pastors, though that's very narrow. In that vein, thistles are job security for me. When mowing thistles in grassland I've thought that at least I'm annoying them. Thistles being perennials are very persistent. But, I have evidence that mowing them sometimes eliminates them. Perhaps that's most likely when there is a good stand of grass with which they have to compete. 

    So it's time to lube the mower and mow thistles. Hopefully it will kill them but at least it keeps them from going to seed. Best to stay ahead of the county weed board.

Takk for alt,

The Canada Thistle has a flower that's attractive to pollinators.
