We went to a large Corn Maze during the weekend and it was pretty neat. We shot the corn canon, rode horses, played in a corn box, got lost in the corn maze (note to self-carry mosquito repellent) My son loved it.

My son and I were exploring some more around our new yard, which is a lot bigger than our previous backyard, and to our surprise we discovered this fella.

After my Mr. M pulled all the weeds out of the yard, we were able to see the many flowers and shrubs that were hidden by them. One is this American Beauty Berry, some call it French Mulberry.
I just learned that the roots, leaves, and branches of this plant were used by the Alabama, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole and other Native American tribes for various medicinal purposes. The roots, leaves and branches were made into decoction that was used in sweat baths to treat both malarial fevers and rheumatism. The boiled plant parts were poured into a big pan that was placed near the patient inside a sweat-house A similar decoction of the roots was used to treat dizziness and stomachaches. The roots and berries were boiled and drunk to treat colic.
The American Beauty Berry is also an important food source for birds and other animals.
As I sat down enjoying the beautiful day, I saw this shape ) in the sky formed by a cloud...
Can you see it?

And finally Yesterday we went rollerskating, I haven't roller skated since I was twelve, so that was fun. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend! Happy Monday!
