Cattail Ditch
A few days ago I stopped at a store, opened my car door, stepped out and saw this grown up ditch with what in it!!! Cattails! You often see them while traveling down a road but don't stop. This time I was already stopped! They were very attractive and a few, very few, were reachable from the edge of the ditch.
And then the memories began. The ditches were always too messy for a mom to go in and pick but not for a kid to go in and pick some for mom! The pleasure of having your child hand you a mess of cattails fresh from the ditch was always nice and made a pretty vase of cattails. I can even remember painting pictures of them when I was a beginning artist!
Here is a picture of what I picked! With permission, of course!
