I planted these marigolds as seeds in this balcony planter and didn’t give them much hope. They withstood the Europe trip without very much water. I don’t even know if it rained here while I was gone. I was shocked to return and see them doing so well. A couple of them are ready to bloom. Isn’t it funny how little things like this can bring a smile to your face?
By the way, Happy Fourth of July! After spending time in Europe, I’m happy I live in the United States. Not that there’s anything wrong with Europe, it’s a great place to visit but I’ll keep my American ways about me. Enjoy the day off work if you’re so blessed. Of course, I’ll be working but isn’t that just part of the fun of my job?
Dang! Why don’t you come over to our place and talk some sense into my flower beds!
