My brother has a bumper crop of thistles this year - next year it will be even better! It did look pretty this morning though.
After clearing the garage yesterday it's the attic this afternoon. At least no plastic pots in there (I hope) but another 30 years worth of rubbish. Note to self: DO NOT HOARD! Another note to self: do not drink your brother's espresso strength coffee - stick to the decaf you know. Still buzzing 3 hours later!
