The thistles are on the way to taking over the pasture. Randy didn't come back as promised to help me dig them up, so I am cutting off the heads before they go to seed. It's not easy to keep up with them. Kim P. tells me dairy goats will eat thistle plants. Wish I had some, as my sheep, goats and llama won't eat thistles. In the meantime, I am enjoying the butterflies as they flutter from flower to flower.
