Just a couple of flowers

Before I dug thistle I snapped a few pictures of flowers. Sunflower, wavyleaf thistle, and Scotch thistle.

Digging thistle is a heck of a good workout. I dug about 200 plants and it was a serious chore. It's the kind of thing that works pretty much all of your muscle groups. It's both aerobic and anaerobic, depending. The heart rate goes up and stays up and the sun beats down. It's a great thing to do, but I wouldn't want to do it all day, every day.

In the midst of serious work though, there are flowers.

I'm really lucky.

And tired.
