Reflections While Mowing

(c) 2009 Ms. Huis Herself at musenmutter.blogspot.com

Based on tonight's mowing session, in addition to grass (both regular and crab), our lawn contains (at least)...

• creeping charlie
• clover, white
• clover, red
• regular pokey thistles
• the thistles that are just pokey on the sides
• the thistles that are very branchy and arm-y... and still pokey
• catnip (in a few places, on the edges)
  
• dandelions (in quantity)
  
• violets
• the weeds with the tiny yellow Q-tip looking flowers, which, upon Googling, might be black medic
• the ones with little heart-shaped leaves and tiny pretty yellow flowers that I've just learned is common yellow oxalis aka yellow wood sorrel (As a kid we used to nibble these sometimes 'cuz they taste kind of lemon-y.)
  
• something with long oval leaves that might be some sort of plantain
• the weeds that I remember making up the majority of my babysitter Dilly's lawn where it met the driveway
• very, very small elm trees
  
• ants
  
• bunny poop (that's just conjecture, but based on the number of bunnies...)

Also, on a side note, it's really easy to spend a lot of time trying to figure out weed (or plant) identification on the internet. I better go finish up my Flylady end-of-day routine!
