Aww I love Pansy's they make me think of my grandma. That was her name, Pansy and she loved the flower too. We always bought her them and anything with pictures of Pansies.
Looks like, but isn't! There was not even enough of a breeze that would have made a candle waver that day... And we didn't even get one drop of rain!!!

How did red mulberries get their color? The answer lies in "Pyramus and Thisbe," the first love story ever written, compiled by Ovid from earlier Greek folklore:
Pyramus and Thisbe were neighbors who fell in love when they became adults. Their parents disapproved, but the lovers communicated secretly, through a crack in the wall separating their houses. One night, they eloped, but Thisbe was frightened away from their rendezvous point—a white mulberry tree—by a bloody-mouthed lion that had just finished a meal. She escaped and hid, but lost her cloak, which the lion mauled and bloodied.
Pyramus, seeing the bloody mouthed lion and the cloak, imagined the worst, and impaled himself on his sword. His blood colored the mulberries red. When Thisbe found him and realized what had happened, she followed him to death on same sword. The European mulberry species has been red ever since.
In traditional European medicine, the mulberry root is a remedy for tapeworms. The tree’s inner bark (cambium) has been used as a laxative. The fruit, eaten in very large quantity, may also mildy laxative.
Where on Earth do you see any evidence of weeding and hard work? (But I thank you for saying so). My back was completely shot this year, and so I didn't do much of anything except pull the hose around and give them a few drinks.
