Maybe we have a recessive Scottish gene. :-) Your photos are beautiful, and I really like the way you made some "quilt" frames for some. So pretty. <br /><br />Thistles have another meaning to me as well. Eeyore was always eating thistles, you remember, and he was always gloomy. Well, I have trouble with depression sometimes myself and I try to remind myself sometimes not to "eat thistles" mentally. :-) Mary E.

I have to say I enjoy watching the birds eat the seeds in the fall. And I know that the farmers do not like them. I take milk thistle to help with elevated liver enzymes because of the antibiotics for Lyme disease. Your pictures, whether we like thistles or not are beautiful!
