Rest area on a trip through Norway. Many houses also had grass on their roofs.

Last August I saw this plant growing along the highways in my area. I found it very interesting, as every stem comes from the roots, with no offshoots from any of the stems. As I saw them every weekday during my commute, I started seeing them closer and closer to home. An online search lead me to believe it is called "Telegraph Weed". It does grow very tiny, insignificant flowers, but it's the shape of the leaves and it's growing habit that draw my eye. They stand about 4 feet high. And what exactly is a weed? I like this definition: A weed is simply a plant out of place. By this definition, any plant could be a weed if growing in a location where it is not wanted

Mine is long and narrow leading out into our attached garage. But it has a nice, organized walk-in closet with shelves for laundry,donations, etc. on one side of it, and clothing rods , shelves and drawers on the other for outerwear, my purses, etc. In the laundry room itself, there are also cabs for laundry supplies, extra dinnerware storage, and a second pantry cab. I inherited my grandmother’s Cottageware and Fruitware collections fom our summerhouse on the lake that I absolutely loved as a kid growing up. The rest of our home is decorated New Mexican, but my laundry room is decorated with my Cottage and Fruitware, as well as framed photos and memorabilia from my childhood there at our summerhouse. Not fancy, but totally mine and I love it.
