less-than desireable compensation
friendships aplenty
summer of incredible potential
THWARTED.
waiting on inefficient systems
for answers to unrealistic wishes.
what more can one do?
one can only break the mold if they do not want a positive end goal.
Plant of the day: Allium Lacunosum. This plant is a terrible weed that has infested my backyard. Tom asked what it was yesterday morning while he was in my backyard. He said it wasn't particularly ugly, and asked why I called it a pest. I said it was related to an onion and complained of how, no matter what, it is impossible to remove from the soil in a certain planter. Its bulb can be so tiny and prolific that even if soil is removed from the planter and sifted, the plant will thrive again the next year. The foliage is narrow and looks enough like grass that if it pops up in a planter with other flowers (daylilies, violets, and miniature carnations in my case) it creates an untidy look. Recent efforts have left stems with flowers and no grass-like foliage. Such a result is better in appearance than any previous efforts. I have a strong desire to thwart this hearty bulb, though I am tempted to attempt to use it as a poignant little onion in cooking.
