When you make yourself the weeds guy, and the word gets out that you’re the guy to go to when it comes to weeds, invitations and inquiries start coming your way. Usually it’s just someone asking you to identify a weed or telling you how much they despise a particular plant for its weedy behaviors. Sometimes it’s writing a weeds-themed article or teaching a class about weeds. It can even be an invitation to go on a weeds walk and be interviewed for a television series. This time it’s something, perhaps, a bit bigger.

I won’t say too much about what the project is at this point. It’s a little too early in the process for the big reveal. However, I will say that it involves at least two things: weeds and the Pacific Northwest. That’s partly why I’m bringing this up.

Do you live in the Pacific Northwest? Would you be interested in talking about weeds sometime? If you’re reading this, and you think you might have some input on the subject, please let me know. You can get in touch using the contact form or by sending me a direct message on Instagram. I can give you more information at that point, and we can determine if there is a way you can help.

There will be more to come about this exciting new project in the near future. Meanwhile, my lack of posting, which you may or may not have noticed, is likely to continue for a while. Summers get pretty busy around here, and as much as I’d like to share more posts with you, it just doesn’t happen. The fact that I’m basically back in school for a couple semesters, along with this new opportunity that I’m not saying much about, has made it so that focusing on the blog isn’t getting much easier. But I’ll do what I can, and I’ll try to stay active on Instagram and other social media sites to (sort of) make up for it.

Thanks, as always, for your support, and thank you for putting up with this announcement about an upcoming and soon to be announced announcement.
