April Weeds
Carline and Tatty stroll through the jungly verge…
They come across little flourishes of weeds and wildflowers.
.
Some “Miner’s Lettuce” in the cool damp areas…
…and “Hen Bit” in the dryer scrubby places.
They love flowers, wild, tame, weed or domestic!
.
Have you ever noticed that the wild flowers are usually more Hitty-sized than the tame ones are?
I think there’s something philosophical about that.
Most of the Hittys I know spend much time making observations – perhaps that counts as philosophizing. I think I know what you mean – the wild geraniums around here in particular are very much smaller and more retiring than the tame ones, and I do think the Hittys are small and innocent compared to some humans…. however, I do know two other certain little dolls who are trying to track down a skunk cabbage…
This is a lovely stroll…thanks for the walk through the verge.
Thank you – we love the beauty we find when we see things down at Hitty level.
How lovely of the Hitty girls to share the beauty of their nature ramble! Thank you!
You are welcome – we love rambling, even a short little stroll nearby is a good restorative!
I can almost smell the lovely fragrances from the wildflowers that Carline and Tatty found!
They are like the Original Hitty and are wondering if all the flowers are trying to blossom at once!
delightful photos. We are also exploring the wild flowers in our hay fields and fence rows. As always Marie Claire admires your Hen Bit!!
We hoped Marie Claire would like the Hen Bit, and put that picture in especially for her, and we are so glad you taught us the name of this very innocuous plant!
what – no dandelions?
It was a photographic dilemma – there are zillions of dandelions of course, but the girls were mostly in the shady areas.
