Field of Weeds...
Or is it?

I drive by a field on my way to work everyday. There is nothing unique about it. Everyday, just a field of weeds. It adds nothing to my drive, and really actually reminds me that Texas can be really ugly when lots of earth are left to their own devices and not landscaped. We tend to have an abnormal amount of scraggly weeds here in Texas.

Then one day last week I noticed the field isn't weeds.

It's a field of really tall, really beautiful.... sunflowers.

They just hasn't bloomed, yet. And had until recently only appeared to be a field of tall, nasty weeds.

I've looked forward to seeing it everyday. It surprised me.

I'm sure there's a life lesson in there somewhere.
