Saturday: Can I Plant This Weed in My Yard?

On my morning walks at Jensen Pond, I have loved watching these plants grow and begin to blossom their dark purple flowers. I mean I know they are a weed and their leaves are----

Not your usual soft and green leaves of most flowers, but it is okay to be different, right?

They're lining the pathway along the Bluff Road. And nobody has to water them.  They make do with what rains and ground provides.  You have to appreciate that in the desert we live in......

and the flowers are just amazing to look at.  I am a fan of purple flowers which probably makes me drawn to them, but aren't they cool looking?

So, should I plant them in my yard?  You vote.

Later that day, Jena and I attended a baby show for Brinley Dickson Keliipuleole.  She is having a girl in July.

We left there and headed directly to a park in Morgan where Jena's Stake Relief Society was having a luncheon.  Jena hung out with them while I took a camp chair under a tree and read a book for the hour and half.  Perfect weather and a pretty view to have while reading a book---that is also good for my heart. :)

The mountains are still green from the winter snow and the spring rains.  They will be changing as the summer sun and heat arrives, but pretty right now.
