Weed? Says who?

Dandelion

I always hated it when people called dandelions weeds.   They are either bright yellow flowers or these beautiful whispy puffs.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder which is why I was very happy to see this definition of weeds.    It sort of reminds me of a quote that I heard (or maybe said) about sexual harassment.  It’s not harassment if you like it.

So, keep in mind that you decide what is a weed in your yard, your garden and your life.  You can choose who and what you appreciate for their true beauty!

Monterrey, MX – well known for the horse’s what?!?

Monterrey MX

I went to Monterrey, MX for a business trip over Thanksgiving in 2012.   I was lucky to get a room on one of the upper floors in the hotel.    Everyone kept telling me about Cerro de la Silla, aka Saddle Hill.    This “hill” is almost 6000 ft high.   Only about 300 feet less than Mount Washington.   Well, the weather during my visit was rainy and of course foggy.  

There are signs when you enter Monterrey that say that if you don’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes and it will change.   This sadly was not the case during my visit.  

Well, on my last morning in Monterrey, I woke up and look out my window to see this amazing view.   The entire week that I was there, it was so foggy that I didn’t even know the “hill” was on my side of the hotel.   Luckily I was able to snap this beautiful picture.

Just goes to show how easy beauty is hidden from us.  So, be patient and look for it, and you will see the beauty in everything!

Look for beauty in the weeds

These were tall weeds in the back of the parking lot at Target. The sky was bright blue. There were a few beautiful wispy clouds hanging out. The wind was blowing these weeds around. To get the picture, I had to kneel down and look up. To most people, these just looked like dead weeds. To me, it made a parking lot in New England have the feel of a summer day somewhere in the MidWest.
