Dug out a block of the Sweet Violet which is spreading very quickly
Would have liked to have done this a couple of months back

I am not a Christian; but I am pretty sure their holy book written by shepherds, reinterpreted by the patriarchy across 2000 years, says:
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God"
They got some new small camels or what?

Two white flower finds new to me today, hopefully correctly identified as Shepherd's-Needle (Scandix pecten-veneris) on the left and Garlic Mustard, also known as 'Jack-by-the-hedge' on the right; growing next to each other in #WandleburyWoods #Shepherds-Needle #GarlicMustard

it's the catholic version of the evangelical zombie myths like "the eye of the needle was a small gate" or "shepherds would break a wayward lamb's leg and then carry it to make it bond with him"

Been looking for breeders for the old black German shepherds I used to work with back in the day.
They are harder to find than a needle in a hay stack. Yet they constantly land in new private care because people think they are "family dogs".
They are really not.

German Shepherds are given commands like "Get everyone in one place and then keep them there." It is a lot easier to keep German Shepherds happy when you can't give them real work. Putting everyone in the same room with them pretty much pegs the needle.
