Volunteer


Don't you just love it when plants show up in unusual places?

Nothing planned or tended just a lovely little surprise
from Mother Nature.

That old trash can is halfway full of potting soil and a little
bird must have deposited a little seed last fall.

The rain and sun did the rest.

Looks kind of cute next to our shed.

Thank you Mother Nature!

    The birds most be working extra hard this year because I have never had so many flowers show up in places I hadn't planted.
    It's thrilling, isn't it?

    You have been having a whirl of fun this summer! I do love your little "volunteer"! Truly I love any little plant that grows and has some color! LOL
    WE have had a ton of rain this year, like never before! Everthing is still so green here!
    Enjoy
