good thinking, Alice

Whoa, Petey’s gonna love that…

Dill is like the majority of US adults. “What me worry?”

That’s a thistle.

Deep down?

I’m not sure that spontaneously pulling up a weed counts as planning ahead — I could be wrong.

Alice, what if you never do anything bad?

So Dill never plans ahead? That’s why he will wind up with Alice for a spouse!

Oh, a nice stingy thistle? More panda plaster’s?

ajr58(1) 1 minute agoThere is a reason Thistle is a national symbol of Scotland. It is deep roots, it is stubborn, and it will not die no matter how many times you try to kill it.

I love this arc.

I would think that slapping the bugs off is thinking ahead… ☺

Careful, it may be a triffid.

It looks like a purple anemone: a single flower on a leafy stalk.

How can they pick that without stinging their hands? Looks like a thistle to me, they are the bane of farmers in our area of the Midwest!

Looks like something we chopped on the farm and burned in kerosene.

That looks like a Forget Me Not So Bad flower.

That’s not true Dill. You said you are going to marry Alice when you grow up.

Yeah? Good luck with that forward thinking, Alice.

I wouldn’t let that big weed into my home….
