It took many years but it finally occurred to me that some of our most common plants have a more colorful history than our notably famous people do. The common milkweed is one of them.
Aunt Bett was a very good teacher and the more time that passes the more I realize all the good she taught me. I was lucky.
Seems like every trip up the mountain with her was an adventure that taught me how to deal with life.
Took me a long time to learn those lessons, though.
Enjoy your wildflowers, I know how much they brighten your days.

I really did enjoy reading the article. i always learn so much reading your articles about Aunt Bette.
We all need someone to hold our hands as we climb the mountain of life.
Thanks for Letting us see your past and it will help us go into the future with knowledge...
Hugs and nuzzles...
