This beautiful Rose of Sharon flower bloomed this morning from a young plant I found in the yard. See the reason I say it is a surprise is it was found next to my double purple Rose of Sharon and until last year I didn't have this variety. So where did he come from?
Or how about while at the fall festival last weekend we purchased some gourds and found this....
Tell me what does he look like?
More came out of the festival than gourds though. I found two cute painters
Aiden determined to paint his whole pumpkin red.
Shannon painting a 2 faced pumpkin. Clearly their skills and imagination is different....but the concentration is the same.
Then soon after this these same two cute kids of mine were found looking quite different....
Aiden caterpillar. Surprise Mommy I look pretty cute as a caterpillar.
Wait Shannon caterpillar looks pretty darn good too....Now how can that be.
The simple things in life can make you stop and think or make you smile. Smile cause it's the silly simple things in life that leave a mark in your life.

The kids had a good time it appears. As for the ROS, when plants seed, they don't always seed true to self because of what may have pollinated it.
