a pretty little nut.

i have a power line that runs diagonally across my yard from the house to the pole. naturally, josh and i built our raised gardens directly under it. genius! well this season, since we have the super green house (i guess i need to post that up, too!) we decided to fill up our little plant platform with all of our left over half empty pots of dirt and plant wildflowers in it. we moved it between the raised gardens so the veggies can benefit from the butterflies and bees.

sooo i was nosing through the dirt the other day.. loving on my little seedlings when i noticed this. i have visions of a squirrel carrying it from yards away only to drop it on my super fertile soil.. the poor acorn grew and grew until i come along and pluck it out! the poor little thing had a great start to being a big beautiful tree. at least i got to document the beginning of it's short little life.
