If you live in America, soon everything will be called America. Your car, your front door, your Nan, your Nan, all the rivers, the forests, the mountains. The dictionary will have one word: America. Reminds me of that great film where the only word used is Rhubarb! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhubarb...

One of the great joys of the Clacton byelection has been the newspaper & media quite properly juxtaposing images of the two front runners. It has permanently diminished Farage, and tainted him with ridicule. He can never not be the political candidate who stood against Count Binface.

I love the way our lawn looks this time of year, covered in wild violets! Love the clover and dandelions, too. One of our neighbors has a solid green carpet of grass. I'm sure this drives him nuts. Hehehe #wildflowers #nature

Rehabilitation of the Dandelion! No other plant in the Netherlands attracts as many bee species: 107. In early spring, when nothing else is blooming, it is simply there. Meadow bird chicks that have just hatched depend on the insects that are drawn to dandelions. No dandelion, no insect, no chick.
