Weeds?

This is for you Stevie -

Dad told me you asked why we were growing weeds

around our tree.

(I admit they were looking a little wild and weedy)

But we are seeing the flowers now. I planted these seeds last year

and Steve chopped them all down because he assumed they were weeds.

Steve is our gardner since I can't tolerate the heat or the bugs and

he doesa good job of keeping the yard looking nice -

so I'm not surprised he thought he was just cleaning up.

But I asked him to leave these alone for awhile to see

if they would bloom.I don't even remember what they are -

and I'd rather the ground cover take over -

but at least it's not bare dirt for a change.
