The Unexpected Fence Clearing

 A journal page...

As we meander a Path of Positivity, we are challenging you to create something inspired by The Unexpected. Of course, you can share anything positive you like, the theme is always optional.

Now this theme is a bit tricky this month!  The idea is to reflect upon the past and create a project based upon an unexpected event that changed your life.  Lisa explains it very well over at PoP; so you might want to drop by for her explanation.  

Remember, you may share any sort of artistic medium over at PoP:  writing, cards, journals, scrapbooking, painting, sewing, baking, needle crafts, etc as long as it is positive.  The theme is always optional.

I noticed this cherry tomato plant unexpectedly in May of 2024 growing outside my riding arena.  The wind blew it in and it bloomed where it landed!  I ate tomatoes from the plant for over 4 months.    

If this plant can do it, so can I.
