On another note ;-)
I was struck this week by how much nature can inform our lives. For me this isn't very often. I tend towards ideas, people, and buildings (their art and history). But once in awhile I take notice (I have to think that some force outside of me makes this happen - because I am pretty obstinate.)
Anyhow, we were given a very sickly little Marigold plant last year. We planted it but there was just no hope for it. It was free so not too great a loss. But apparently this spring a seed remained. It grew into what you see below. This incredible bush like I have never seen before - not for this kind of little plant. So I asked my daughter to sit beside it to give the size some perspective. After I took the photo - I looked at the camera display...I saw my daughter sitting next to this incredible plant.
Now we fought for 3.5 years to get her free from a Ukrainian orphanage two years ago. 12 years of institutional living there has presented some challenges - and coming to a new and different language, culture, and into a family. But like this plant...she is who you see here. Beautiful, growing and blossoming in so many amazing ways. There they were...two of a kind.
Good soil, water, and sun help any plant. But for these results, defying explanation, coming from such a difficult beginning - there has to have been extra care coming from somewhere, you know. Just saying. :-)
Have a great weekend!
