against all odds....

Maizy gets crazy in the backyard. She runs around wildly and chases the chickens sometimes and digs holes and rolls in the dirt. We have this half-barrel that we're using to grow a water lily and one of her favorite things to do is jump in the barrel and run round and round splashing water everywhere, getting muddy and tearing up the leaves. Sometimes I think she's a tazmanian devil in disguise. Anyway, despite her romping around in the waterlily, we managed to get a flower! Here it is!
