The Magic of Your Own Back Yard

After moving into my first apartment, I am beginning to experience the inevitable, perpetual tasks that come with it.  Our apartment has a brick patio in the back yard, and let's just say that there isn't much that doesn't thrive in our climate.  I spent a few hours weeding today, which isn't how I intended to spend my first day of school, but fortunately I actually find weeding to be quite relaxing.  It definitely makes you look more closely into the thriving ecosystem of your own back yard.  When I was out in the morning this one plant was absolutely covered with blue blooms, but by lunch time there wasn't a trace of blue on them.  It was truly amazing.  And I found a beautiful insect wing, and we picked some wonderful smelling flowers for our kitchen.  It continually amazes me how much you miss in the world if you just don't take the time to stop and look.
