Please take care my friends in Japan. My prayers and hope for a
safe summer to you.

I saw bindweed (as wild morning glory) in our recent trip to
Oklahoma. There is also moon flower (Jimpson weed), Johnson grass,
and primrose along the dusty road sides. They seem to be drought
hardy as the region has been in a deep drought.
