Carpe Diem

"Seize the moment." We have been getting a lot of rain. I saw these tiny sprouts by the front door this morning. I almost took a pass on them, because I was in a hurry. Luckily, I seized the moment. In an hour, they had collapsed and were gone. Vanished without a trace. Lesson learned. :)

Thanks for your generous treatment of my child's basil growing project from yesterday. It was meaningful to me, to see her hands on the PP. I love her very much, so I appreciate it. Thanks for stopping by.
