I would like to share my love of Ursula Vernon with all of you.

"Feral Strawberry of Appomattox

A low-growing groundcover that escaped from cultivation, the feral strawberries of Appomattox pose a menace to both livestock and unwary travelers. Almost every native has had the experience of reaching down for an appealingly plump berry and instead getting a nasty bite from the oversized seed-teeth. More rare is the experience of walking into a seemingly innocent clump of vegetation, and then hearing the low, ominous growls of the berries from all directions.

At least one fatality has been reported.

Herbicides are singularly ineffective against the feral strawberries--scientists cite their ability to hold their breath for up to a week--and the only sure-fire cure for an infestation is to borrow a herd of goats for a week."

hmmm... that's a berry that could get you into a jam...

Okay. I've just spent about an hour at her site. It's all so CUUUUUUTE! Except when it shouldn't be. I want to buy all the teas and soaps and whatever other doodads she inspires and have them around and use them profligately. I think that a house properly equipped with a dozen varieties of Red Wombat Tea would have to be a better house than one without.

Thanks for the link.
