A Day In The Life Of My Window Box

^{Here's my #monthlyauthorchallenge (SMAC) for today. Plus my entry to Tuesday's Color Challenge. See below for more info.}

On a dreary wet and windy day in February, what better way to cheer myself up than to conjure up an image of my window box from last summer.

I particularly enjoyed these Californian Poppies because I didn't actually plant them and I have no idea from where they originated.

Miraculously some just turned up in the mews gowing in front of my neighbours drain pipe. The seeds must have blown in from a garden somewhere. Then, the following year I found the poppies in my window box. Pretty magical, eh?

Will they turn up again this summer? Or will they be a one hit wonder. I haven't changed the soil so the seeds from last year might well be there. We'll have to wait a few more months to find out!
