I’ve got a little mascot for all of us when we feel like we can’t make it.

This little tomato plant is growing from a crack in my driveway. She seeded herself by my fire pit and suns herself on the wood pile.

I did not plant her.

I did not feed her.

I did not protect her.

But there she grew.

She grew healthy and strong. There is no blight on her leaves.

See her blooms?

She is so lovely.

See her fruit — her tomatoes?

If this little tomato can sprout and grow with no attention, we can certainly find the strength to carry on no matter what life throws our way.

Should we name her?

Oh yes, let’s name her.

What name do you like?
