Nothing says summer more than endless roadside seas of Queen Anne's Lace. I can't see this stuff and not think of growing up. I can't see this stuff and not think of cutting a bunch and sticking it in food coloring-laden water.

We have a field of it next to our new condo. Beautiful!
Have you heard about Giant Hogweed, Jennifer? That sort of looks like Queen Anne's Lace, but GIANT? It's crazy! It can burn you and blind you!!

BG- those would be awesome if they weren't so heinous!!
thundra- I actually manned-up and took a photo of a speedra last week! There was little activity going on so when I happened upon what looked like a harmless Daddy Long Leg variety... I took the photo... which is now missing from my memory card and my computer. No doubt it's loose in my house!!!!

LOL, Jennifer. I'm not sure that Daddy Long Legs count as real speedras anyways.
P.S. A certain Mike Ditka has been in teh news lately. So here's this.

Also, it was so a real speedra!!! However, there were 8 million of what you would consider "real" speedras scurrying about in the garden today as I ripped weeds out. Guh... Thank GAWD for garden gloves, shoes, and heavy gardening implements.
