October surprise


I found this watermelon growing from a vine that came up as a volunteer. I knew the vine was hiding beneath the zinnia jungle, but it didn't do much until we cleared out some of the zinnias and the watermelon vine had access to sunlight.

I don't know that it will reach an edible stage this late in the year, but it made me wonder. What kinds of hidden treasures might we find in our lives if we look closely, clear away some of the overwhelming busyness, and give overlooked possibilities an opportunity to flourish?
