One year ago this little corner space beside our driveway was buried under pieces of old asphalt, granite boulders, tree trunks and some pretty big excavation equipment. Bringing some life back to the bed has been an ongoing project and we’ve slowly filled in the soil with new plants that can survive this hot, dry space next to the road but I was sure the old spring blooming clematis was gone forever. It looks like Mother Nature had other plans though and over the past few months small shoots have reappeared in the shade of a big telephone pole. Thursday morning one big bloom opened and I don’t care if it is a little confused about the seasons, it made me smile.
There are still two more weeks to join in the fun so if you have a photo or story to share about your 10:00 am hour I’d love to see it! Please tag your post 1 Day 1 World Project for easy reader searches and/or link your post in a comment below so we can all enjoy the view. Together we’ll build a virtual 24 hour day filled with images from around the world.
If you’re new to the 1 Day 1 World Project please take a look at my introductory post here. This 10:00 am post will remain open for submissions until the end of Saturday, October 11th and a new post for the 11:00 am hour will open for entries Sunday, October 12th.

Yes it is, Patrick! I’ve got to think of some kind of reward for it’s tenacity. Maybe a nice little trellis or some kind of support.

Thanks, Stacy, I can’t believe the project is almost over! I’ll post a recap after the last week with a big collage to show my 24 photos. It will be great to look back on the virtual day and learn more about which posts attracted the most comments, views, participants etc…

A collage is a great idea, I may do the same, and see which of my ‘hours’ was the most popular. It has been such fun to join in a different project 🙂
