The Palm


 This is a picture of our palm tree, taken from my studio window.

 On the second floor (see the light reflections?). This thing used to be a smallish houseplant, one that I though was dead. We made a planter at the edge of a new deck in front of our house, and I needed a lot of dirt to fill it up, so I threw the container full that had the seemingly dead palm in there and also planted a tea tree bush and a dwarf cypress. Flash forward ten years, and this thing is almost as tall as our house! Moral of the story? Never assume presumed death is truly the end? Or something like that.
