Moving large and heavy bags of potting soil early this morning when POP! this volunteer California Bay, all naked in the early morning light, greeted me 🙂 We use the bay leaves for many things and recently had to cut down our largest bay tree for a construction project. Very sad to see it go 😦 Many volunteers are now popping up over the property, so perhaps they were watered by our tears and are going to come back. 🙂
