October 3

During a walk this afternoon, I came across this unusual sight.

In case it's hard to tell what I'm referring to, it's a baby palm tree growing in a sidewalk crack.

I know a lot of people think that's probably not all that unusual since this is California, but we don't actually have many palm trees here in Northern California. There are a few here and there, but they're not exactly prevalent.

Anyway, I was surprised to see it. And it served as a reminder that unanticipated blessings can pop up in entirely unexpected places. So always keep your eyes open so you don't miss 'em.
