Something I saw today
Does anyone know what these are called?
We have many of these around this area...and I just think they are so pretty, despite the fact that they are covered in thorns. I keep thinking "stinging nettle", but when I look those up on google, they don't look anything like this...any ideas on what it actually is?

It looks kind of like the bud of those big field thistles

By the way, I remember you said you had a funny kid's story...I'd still love to hear it.

They are awesome looking! Too bad they stick you and are technically considered a weed.
I don't think I was the one with the funny kid's story. But I do kind of have one, its from a home movie when my sister was 3. I won't be able to do it justice over the internet, but it was a long, semi coherant monologue delivered by my 3 year old sister where one of my favorite lines was "Sarah impus just loves her momma and daddy and 3 yeard old, and mr. potty just loves for me to pee in him, and he just loves it"

LOL! JK where were you when I had the contest for funny stories? That was absolutely hilarious!
Reminds me of when Bonnie was about 2 and she had gone poo in the potty, and I told her to flush it down. She said, "But mommy, the poo poo is so cute! It's just so cute!"
