Yes, a good mantra: Life finds a way. I just said it out loud three times. The gardener in me cheers: It is a flower and not a weed.

Loved this, Sharron. Reminds me of Smith's "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn."

Yes! And Italian, the romance languages all, somehow help one feel and (re-)think. Happy Christmas and New Year.

Chamomile and Johnny Jump Ups both demand gravel parking lots to grow in. Dirt disdained. They are beautiful yellow and purple. Show off for a week and then they are gone till next year.

Just the tiniest bit of sunlight, nurturing, water, love....it doesn't take much.

A good thought to take into 2024.

Thank you.

Having just weeded my patio the other day in preparation for our Christmas party, I can relate. It's amazing how they can grow and thrive in the tiniest cracks and crevices. I almost felt sorry to pull them but at least they weren't flowers.
