God who at sundry times and divers manners spake in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds 🌎; Who being in brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high;

The stems and leaves of mare’s tail apparently contain silicon which makes it resistant to weed killers. However, because the plant likes damp acidic conditions I am buying some Dolomite Lime and I will try to get rid of it that way. It is deep rooted and can grow through tarmac. It is a weed!
Take my hand.
We will walk.
We will only walk.
We will enjoy our walk without thinking of arriving anywhere!

P.S.
In my last post I asked what caused a tree wart. Shelly (my sister) answered and said another name for it was a burl which is caused by a trauma. (injury, virus or fungus) . Thank you Shelly🙂 ! Google has helped us know that the most common trauma is caused by certain types of mold and insect infestation . Burl wood is extremely dense and resistant to splitting because the grain is twisted and interlocked. It is considerably older growth meaning it has no sapwood and as such it is valuable. Burl wood is used in furniture, veneers and artwork. Don’t take a burl off a tree because the tree could die!!
Love the photograph you took while cycling.
Thank you Kelly. The traveller’s joy was in such large amounts I could hardly believe it.
