One of English author A.A. Milne’s famous quotes is “Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” In the spring when the grass begins to grow in my yard, tiny flowers appear everywhere. When I examine them closely, they’re perfect little works of art. Out in the pastures and fields glorious color spreads across the countryside, reds, yellows and blues! Weeds—we walk on them and we mow them away. Somehow I feel Milne’s words are not just about weeds.
