you know, even weeds can have beauty…i like dandelions too…
Volunteer is the word.
Within the conundrum lies the inspiration.
Loved your 55 Alice Audrey

Gotta watch those rogue flowers!
Gotta love those hardy volunteers. They can add so much to a garden….or a driveway.
wow,
how insightful,

beautiful 55.
Awww can’t call such a thing of beauty a weed. Sunflowers always make me smile.
Great 55~!

I love volunteers!
