Weeds Will Win

Blue Ribbon #3

There's always room for humor, especially when the subject is weeds and one has to face the fact that the weeds will always win . . .

. . . the inside of the card reads, "The less you give a damn, the happier you will be."  That sentiment actually applies to a lot of situations in life, I find.

Being as we're dealing with weeds here, I figured some torn, rough edges would be suitable to the task.  I drew over a small cluster of dried pine needles with a black marker and put them off to the side to balance the Ironweed cluster.  Some sunset colors to suggest an end to a day of mostly futile weeding, and I think we're done here.
