The mad bag lady.
You know that lady you see walking along with an arm full of carrier bags full of stuff? That's me, I've turned into a bag lady. Everywhere I go I have several carrier bags. Some are for picking up dog poop some for tortoise weeds, obviously, but now I have extra bags for grass with seed heads on. My budgies love seeding grasses so now I collect them. I'm so glad I don't have a giraffe, I'd be shimmying up trees grabbing leaves.

Sounds bit like me too. Always got my dog poop bags on me, an my carrier bags for my weeds. Think people round here think im nuts too. Picking weeds and taking them home. If someone sees me I always feel like I should explain what im doing. I always say there for my rabbit. I just hope they ain't got a rabbit an copy me as I don't know if rabbits can eat all the weeds I pick for the torts

My husband sometimes picks for me when he walks the dog in the morning, he chats to everyone in the hamlet where we live, now we keep finding gifts of dandelions left on our wall or gate! the other day I looked out of the window and said "what is that on your van?" when my OH went to see it was a massive dandelion draped over his wing mirror he said "this is getting embarassing now"

Whenever I see big dandelions and weeds in people's gardens I want to snatch them - but I don't because I always worry that they might have used weed killer on the soil (even though the evidence suggests otherwise)
