Insects are happy that I missed cutting some thistles since they collect nectar from the blossoms and later the finches will enjoy the seeds.

Picture of the Day for November 17, 2013
A warm November day is preferable, but I didn’t feel too sorry for this thistle when it was covered with frost. But I suppose the spines might be stiffer and poke in farther if frozen so good thing it is too cold to be bare foot.
