Third day of doing this. So far it still seems like a good idea to me.

Didn’t go for something that caught my eye this time. Went for something that seemed more likely to be considered a weed. Something that has had probably hundreds of people pass by on foot, with going unnoticed. I know I’ve passed it many times and would be guilty also.

White sweetclover. Getting it’s name from clover-looking leaves and clear white flowers. It’s considered a valuable honey plant for it’s nectar, so definitely not the random weed I assumed when paused to look.

Interestingly it contains coumarin, the chemical compound of the blood thinner Coumadin. Would never have guessed.

My body wasn’t super excited with getting out though, as it’s been angry at me today for making sure I lifted more weights than my 10th grader yesterday. First time bench pressing in 15 years, so it seemed smart to go as hard as I could. I succeeded. Impressed no one, but still I succeeded. I am telling myself that at least.
