Okay, so I am aware that these are weeds but...
look at those beautiful colors! I couldn't help myself. Not only are the colors gorgeous but there are tons of them all around the house. Trust me, this is not the craziest thing I've picked. I've been known (just last week) to pick poison oak because I thought it was pretty. Let me defend myself though. I had no idea that poison oak changed colors in the fall....especially in Texas. So I saw these great fall colors along the county road I take home. I keep scissors in my car for just such occasions. I picked a handful and headed home. As I drove along, I looked over and thought to myself, "That looks a lot like poison oak but it couldn't be with those pretty colors." Just to be sure, I googled it when I got home. And there it was in all its purple and red and orange glory. Ooops. Thank goodness I'm one of those people who can roll around in it and it doesn't bother me. My middle son on the other hand can look at it and he's miserable for days. So I cleaned the seats in the car, the door knobs, etc and no harm was done. I've had these weeds on the table for over 24 hours now and there's not been any more sneezing than usual around here so I think it's okay.
Take a little walk today and carry your scissors because you never know what you might find to inspire your decorating.
