I can see these would make a great game with the children, and fun to see their initials designed in their clothing :) If I see any more I will do just as you suggest :))) Many hugs to you.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-91181629968123320982017-07-13T16:41:11.821-04:002017-07-13T16:41:11.821-04:00Hello Denise!
Congratulations on the photos and t...Hello Denise!<br /><br />Congratulations on the photos and the beautiful action of accompanying and showing all these wonders to Mr. Bill and to us.<br />The thistle that you do not know is a plant with several medicinal uses and is called Burdock (Arctium lappa L.). It is a plant originating in Europe that was introduced in America.<br />The Velcro that is used to serve as a closure in many things was inspired by this flower. If you look closely you will find that your tiny spines are curved at the ends, just like one of the parts of the Velcro. When I and my friends were children, we picked up many of these flowers to shoot each other, because when they are thrown, they fix their clothes with their hooks. At other times, we would make the initial letters of our names on our clothes with these buttons.<br />When going through such a plant, why not make an experiment? You'll see it's funny!<br />Many hugs.<br /><br />ManuelCuco ramalheirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939112021947579681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-10394911157227493542017-07-12T18:50:18.912-04:002017-07-12T18:50:18.912-04:00We always enjoy showing family and friends around ...We always enjoy showing family and friends around our area Kay, it is a win-win :)DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-84036514626826435442017-07-12T10:30:08.964-04:002017-07-12T10:30:08.964-04:00:-) Me too!:-) Me too!DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-18024859775753728542017-07-12T08:15:57.941-04:002017-07-12T08:15:57.941-04:00You are very welcome Linda, glad you enjoyed :)You are very welcome Linda, glad you enjoyed :)DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-68831030719810365022017-07-12T08:15:17.252-04:002017-07-12T08:15:17.252-04:00It was, so much fun :) and I agree about the cars....It was, so much fun :) and I agree about the cars.
