Our driveway here at the Boggy Thicket isn’t exactly paved.
We started out with a layer of crushed concrete, and a year or so later added ground asphalt – the stuff those big machines chew off of the highway before repaving.
You would think that would provide an uninviting, if not downright inhospitable, home for plant life, but out by the road the Bermuda grass has covered all but the tracks where we normally drive.
And in some seldom used turn-around areas, we have wildflowers blooming.
They are small – the bloom is about as big around as a quarter – but there are several growing out of the asphalt.
This morning, about halfway to the street, I saw this:
No idea what it is, but the beautiful, delicate lavender of the blossom made me go grab my camera.
