Finding life in the strangest places

Take a close look at the base of this basketball hoop. Notice anything out of place?



When I saw this yesterday afternoon, I had to squat down to take a closer look:


Life is tenacious! It took me a while to figure it out, but these seedlings sprouted from sunflower seeds that had fallen out of a bag of bird seed. And they are growing in a substrate of wet sawdust blown out of the garage from one of Phil's woodworking projects.

We just may have to transplant them and see how strong their will to live really is.

It's a motivation to see something thrive despite challenging circumstances. Good metaphor for life!
