The Shepherd's Purse is a very common plant
and many would say it is little more than a weed.
It is often found by the roadside or in unattended city lots
But after the flower has withered
the seeds begin to grow and take the shape of
a small green heart
....a little shepherd's purse
It easily self sows and makes its home in un-likely and often odd locations
with little regard for dust or disarray...
It seems to thrive along
the side of the road or in a crack in the pavement
This is not a pretty "gardeners" plant
but...I love the Shepheard's purse
It finds it's way into our garden's
wherever the wind
and birds take the heart seeds
&
it shows up each Spring without a care
to flower and bloom
it grows from weed
to wild flower
As I begin this new year full of changes
My promise to myself is to accept my life's crazy path
with grace and a cheerful heart
to follow the breeze and sow seeds where they land
to enjoy the
smaller moments
I so often take for granted
wishing you all
a healthy
happy
New Year
