volunteers

Transition is upon us.  Farmers and gardeners in northern New Mexico are deep into harvest season, and thanks to a wide variety of birds and animals. there are always lots of volunteers in and around the gardens and fields.  Arugula, lettuce, and spinach are popping up all over this year and in the oddest places, including the road.  It depends on your outlook whether these are considered weeds or simply volunteers.

I am fairly certain a bird of some sort is responsible for the beauties below.  The first is millet that pops up freely from a Santa Fe bird seed mix we use.  The other is a sunflower, that most likely is also part of the mix.

and so the cycle of life continues

until next Monday,
