  1. So, this may look like a bunch of weeds to some folks, but this is actually a budding #FoodForest in my backyard (in between the barn and our gray "garage"). There is #MilkThistle, #Raspberries, #Burdock, and the little white flowers near the ground are the #WildStrawberries I planted in that spot last year that not only took, but spread! Yay!

  3. In other news, the air quality was much better in #Maine today (still not great -- listed as "Fair" rather than "Poor" or "Unhealthy"). Anyhow, I opened up the barn window and heard lots of buzzing coming from outside. I looked down to see TONS of bumblebees (and a few other bees) going to town on the #Burdock flowers (another "weed" that I let grow this year, knowing how much the bees love it). I grabbed my camera and managed to snap a nice close-up of a bumblebee pal and a stray honeybee (maybe from a hive down the road) mostly sharing a flower (there was plenty to go around, so I didn't see much aggression between them).

  5. The hanabiramochi (葩餅) is filled with symbolism for the New Year.
    The reddish pink is not only a celebratory colour, but hints at ume blossoms (梅) and their associations with renewal. The burdock, representing ayu (アユ/鮎 'sweetfish'), is a wish for long life.

    Last falls burrs from a variety of burdock, a tall, large-leaved, biennial plant often considered a weed, but there is a lot of medicinal value packed in there. Some mature roots can send stems to 5 feet (1.52 meters) and some leaves can be a foot (30.4 cm) wide.

    When I was a kid, we'd find those burrs and fashion small scenes, a sofa or chair, some lopsided people who could sit in the chair but not get up easily!

    The spiny parts have very grabby, barbs, like Velcro hooks. The burrs are the bane of any long haired dog and especially, for dairy farmers like my family, cow tails.
