Thistle.    the thistle that i know,  that has been so present in Nogal's forest…..there are some     OUT        and what do i mean by out,?,    ….   in expanded areas where it has not grown before,   extending out.   This one is down just away from the feed shed  .  it's the only one there.   but up by the resting chair,  i counted 3.  They begin as very small tight flat rosettes,  leaves the size of this sprigs of whatever it is that grows in profusion there ,  then rapidly growing  when conditions are right as i guess they have been in these last days.    The choices Plants make.   i like thinking about this.
