Sometimes we get little unexpected surprises, even from nature.
Just as I was thinking it's high time I get busy cleaning up and adding some pretty touches outside, I saw color, a very pretty color, a color I really like! I was quite surprised to find these little beauties popping up in my (much in need of attention) planting bed next to our patio.
It suddenly occurred to me I'd had pansies that looked a lot like these in hanging baskets not far from this area, a while back. Actually, the winter before last.

I didn't plant these here, they are a surprise that just appeared. And what a pleasant surprise!
It's always nice to get little unexpected gifts, and this one certainly made me smile. Pretty, purple pansies.
I'm not sure how long these will last, Spring gets going here and the heat quickly makes us think it's summer in no time flat.
But, for now I have these little beauties sharing my patio with me, and I'm enjoying their company! I'll be keeping a close eye on them and perhaps move them to a more shady spot, and maybe they will hang around for a while.
I now have even more motivation to get on that task of cleaning up and adding some pretty touches outside. This area truly was begging for some attention! Now if only all of my other pots and planters would magically bloom!
I guess I best be off to the garden center to see what other little beauties I can find to add those pretty touches to my outdoor space.

These sure are a beautiful color and a beautiful surprise!...
