Hey, "nicest think" vs "nicest thing" is a thing, I think.

House Sparrow: "Weeds on the Wing"

@haze231 @angristan

The nicest think is that it's easy to get started.

There are really inexpensive paths starting as low as a Raspberry Pi and an old monitor USB and keyboard.

You can also find some cheap laptops these days or a discarded PC.

I would bet transplanting dandelions would work well. They are a perennial with a big tap root (like a carrot), of which I have pulled many over the years from my in-laws lawn.

@haze231

You took the step to connect. I appreciate it. I'll take the step to post (probably no more or less than before). If that works for you, stick with me. If it sucks pond water big time, jump away at your discretion.

20 is a good age (even when one is >70 always trying to keep fresh.)

@JigmeDatse

I don't particularly want to encourage dandelions in my lawn. It is just that I like how they are awesome weeds.

Weeds and wildflowers fascinate me.

While garden flowers require care and extra work from us to succeed, weeds/wildflowers show up all on their own and often thrive in lousy conditions.

As it turns out, I have very few on my own property. This shot was from a lawn down the street.

@comicbuzz

Thanks for making a connection.
If you ever find my posts boring or just not what you want, just drop me!

I wish I could do comics, but satisfy myself with clipart-style stuff...hoping for occasional humor.

Weed Wednesday (on Friday...just because)

This may just be my favorite flower.

I am not sure I am the "resource" of your RL post, but thanks for making the connection.

When I post, you'll now get to see it in your Home timeline. That's good, I think. If you come to disagree later, drop me into the abyss. It is your choice who is in your home!

Sun again, but only for an hour.

Here, safe inside, I watch nature's power.
