Weeds-(written, but never posted from last Fall)

I have a fascination with weeds. Not so much known ones like pachysandra, liriope and the insiduous one from my front bed, but the unknow variety that could turn out to be something good. Of course, they rarely do, but I still can't keep myself from waiting a while to see what it will become. Of course, this Spring that meant a weed that threw seeds at me everytime I pulled it--you've got to admire the ingeniousness of it, don't you? The lesson there was o pull them BEFORE they set seed. There's one in my kitchen garden now that has pretty flowers and threatening leaves; I think you'll agree it's pretty amazing.
