I live in a very rural area and live next door to an unoccupied home. It was once the home of my children's grandparents. Sadly their grandmother died in a car accident in January of 2000 and their grandfather died three years after that. Their heir owns it now and has done a great job of keeping the home and yard in good condition. It was rented out for a short time, but is now vacant.
For some reason the owner hasn't thought about or gotten around to cleaning up around the mailbox. For a while I would drive by and think it was an eyesore, but in God's own time it has become a thing of beauty! I love this wild vine with the tiny red flowers. The same vine is growing on the fence of the little Episcopal church I walk by almost every day during my work week. Its also growing on the corn in the background of the mailbox picture I took the day after my grandson was born shown here. I don't know if its a weed or a plant that you could buy at the plant store.
I took this picture a little too early this cool almost-autumn morning for the flowers to be completely open, but its still gorgeous to me.
PS: I got a new camera! Let the blogging, Etsy Shop Sales and Ebay Sales resume!

Congrats on the new camera.. one of these days I'm gonna break down and buy me another..
That little flowering vine... a friend gave me some and she called it "humming bird vine"... once it starts growing it reseeds itself every year... I think it is pretty..
