I have a spot in the back corner of my yard where the shed used to sit. It's not the most attractive but it's the spot where I end up dumping all yard clippings. Weeds, branches from the forsythia, all get dumped here. The guys who mow avoid that spot I'm guessing because they have no idea what's actually there. I took the push mower out the other day and worked on cutting down some of the overgrown weeds that are growing there.
But first...
...I took some pictures.

I am happy you took these photos, so pretty and weeds are wildflowers, I think I read that somewhere ;)
Thistles! They can be very pretty.
I hope the push mower was a gas powered and not the old one that is human powered. love the thistles and I am a weed lover, even more than cultivated flowers...
I know people will think me crazy but I am jealous! I've thistle and sure missed getting to see any bloom this year.
Some weeds can be used for medicine.
*The terms “milk thistle” and “silymarin” are often used interchangeably. Historically, people have used milk thistle for liver disorders and gallbladder problems. Milk thistle is promoted as a dietary supplement for hepatitis, cirrhosis, jaundice, diabetes, indigestion, and other conditions.
And...upset tummies! lol
So...I love thistles...

Milk Thistle has a lot of uses. I wish I had some in my yard.
Ann - Is it not amazing what will grow amidst the pile of rubble? These thistles are such a pretty purple. Hope you are having a delightful day. Hugs!
Those little thistles blooms are such a pretty color.
I'm spending WAY too much time looking through your Pinterest things. It is impressive and so many things I want to try. It is very comprehensive. I need to get up and cook but cannot tear myself away!
They're so pretty!
Those are pretty.
We have quite a few of those thistles in the woods around our house. They are pretty but don't like the stickers.
