Never can resist thistle....I don't remember ever seeing it as big in Tennessee. But back then I may not have noticed the beauty of it. Then again, maybe it didn't get as tall as around here.
One thing I am simply amazed at is in Tennessee, morning glories were as much a pest, as they were flowers. Don't get me wrong, my mom usually grew some as flowers. But oh, what a pest in the garden and in the tobacco and corn! They would take over a garden if left alone. I would love to know the reason for the difference.

I was watching an old episode of Friends the other night. In it Chandler and Joey had a little butting of heads over who had the right to sit in a chair.
I had not thought of it in years, but we used to get in arguments similar to this when we were kids. I don't know why we argued over a seat...but I can so remember arguing about a place being 'my seat'--I can remember saying 'Mom, make him move. I was sitting there.' I think mom ignored us when it came to that stuff. And I can't remember why we would argue over a seat, unless it was us wanting a seat at the end of the couch. I don't even remember which brother I argued with...and actually think some of them would claim a seat as theirs, too.
