Mystery at Hospitality Lane

Oh Boy!

If I hadn't taken these photos this morning 

I wouldn't have any proof 

that there is a flower thief in our neighborhood.

You see, 

I had made this flower bed white and red

until this random yellow daisy-type flower

popped up.

It kind of stood out in the neighborhood.

In a good way.

What a colorful and pretty flower.

Just look how happy and optimistic it is.

Pretty flower.

And now it is gone!

I came home, looked out the window and realized that 

it is ....no more!

Gone!

Forever.

I suspect the neighbor boys who come through 

our yard to catch the bus to Summer School.

So, I'm thinking that perhaps this little flower 

lives on as a bit of sunshine for a teacher.

Or, maybe it was snatched on the way home

and their mother's eyes teared up 

with their thoughtfulness.

Who could blame them, really?

This flower grabbed your attention.

Standing there randomly

so yellow in a sea of white.

Oh well.

I love this flower bed still.

Now so coordinated in red and white.

I'll need to get some mulch down soon

or I'll dislike this flower bed as all the weeds

return too quickly.

 The hydrangea is so lacy and delicate.

This is one mystery I have no intention of solving.

Someone obviously was either bothered by this intrusive posey 

or needed it much more than I.
