Nature whether you want it or not (you don't)

Let a zoo yard go unmowed for a summer and this is what you get*. Ragweed as tall as a short man. This might be part of the reason I spent 3/4 of August as a snot faucet. Here it's gone to seed, so I could stomp around in it without anaphylaxis.

I haven't decided whether it's a drawback or an advantage that the new steer has light colored hair that shows off the many stable flies that are feeding on his legs.


*Results may vary. Other unmowed yards end up full of stinging nettles, burdock, or mugwort, and eventually turn into Ailanthus/mulberry groves.
