A While Ago

About four months ago Michelle purchased a long, rectangular, terracotta flowerpot. All she wanted was something that she could fill with birdseed and then stick on the outside of our third-story windowsill. The pot was a perfect solution. It was broken, so she got it for a great price and, with super glue, it was quick and easy to fix. She brought it home, glued it together, filled it with birdseed and set it out. No birds. It’s still completely full. No birds. It’s been about four, maybe five months, and not one bird has dipped its head into the seed. So I took a look at it the other day. It’s still full of seed, yet something has changed. Grass is starting to grow in it. And it’s beautiful. Maybe we’ll get some flowers too.
