52 Weeks of Happiness :: Week 33

Discovering that I have a rare
heritage plant growing in my yard.

I was unsuspectingly admiring the fall leaves
on the trees off the side of my drive way,
when I noticed a bush adorned with red berries.

I looked a little closer and discovered
that I have a Hearts-a-bustin' in my front yard.

This is a heritage plant that my father
has in his garden.

I've admired it so much and always
make it a point to peek
at his Hearts-a-bustin'
whenever I visit their home.

Okay, I'll admit that I have secretly
actually coveted his exotic and beautiful plant.

I was beyond excited to discover
that I had my very own flowering bush
growing in my own front yard.

It's been there all along
but I just now noticed it.
How could I have overlooked
such a treasure?

Now I can't shut up about it.
I've mentioned my discovery
to Roger more than once.

"Did I tell you that we have
a Hearts-a-bustin' in our yard?"
I said to him as I cleaned the kitchen the other day.

"Uh, this is the third time you've told me"
he said lovingly.

Maybe I'm a little too excited?

So, I called my father
to share the news.
He marveled and celebrated
this fabulous find with me.

I forced the kids to
stop and admire it...
three times.

I told my mom all about it
and she was impressed.

Now I'm telling you!
