Weeds are just plants like any other, I think we've just labelled the plants we don't like as "weeds" but oftentimes they are indigenous to the area. I remember hearing about clover yards and how they are actually better, more drought resistant and require less watering then the grass we use that is not native in places like Texas (where I'm from).

Love the post card event! I should really try to host something similar in my area as I know there are several moms in my neighborhood that have a hard time making it to protests with their kids.

Love this! And I love your companion weed. I’m a horticulturist and my favorite definition is “a plant out of place.” And wow, when I think of it that way it feels much less rigid because it’s all about perspective anyway

I remember as well when I was about 10 I found a dandelion in the school yard and put it in my hair thinking I was pretty and my teacher (?!) at the time told me it was a weed, definitely with a negative comparison. I was ashamed at the time but it's still stuck with me because of all the things you've said and more. Just because it's a weed doesn't mean it's not beautiful, it was still a flower, and it still made me feel pretty. All things deserve love <3
