We didn’t plant these
We have moved many times, usually between continents, not just shifting houses on the same street. We have put in driveways, built fences, created walkways, installed outdoor lighting, designed just-right out-buildings, placed irrigation systems, planted trees, and established oh-so-many flower beds. In each and every flower bed on every property, plants come up unexpectantly, and we say the same thing: “What is that? We didn’t plant it.” We moved to Northeast Texas over 20 years ago, and we said the same phrase, with a vibrant Northeast Texas flair: “What are these? We didn’t plant these…dozens or hundreds.” God blessed us with fertile soil, abundant rainfall – except for August and September – and warm temperatures. It’s perfect for growing most things we want to plant and those we didn’t plant.
