The Kindness of Strangers
I walked the dogs along the Mission Creek Greenway this morning for a change of scenery. If you've ever strolled along the south side of the creek, between the dog park and bridge on Casorso, you'll have noticed a little evergreen tree that's always decorated according to the season. I can't tell you exactly where it is, so it's always an absolute delight to stumble upon when I'm wandering along the pathway.

Today for the first time I noticed a note attached to the tree. Though it didn't give me any clues as to who the decorator might be, it did answer the question that I've heard others ask: Why would anyone bother to do it?
Thank you kind stranger, for bring unexpected joy into my life.
I always love seeing that tree and have wondered if it was a memorial or a statement or just someone having a good time. Whatever the motive, it makes me smile whenever I see it...
ReplyDeleteMe too! I wonder what November will bring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice little surprise. You should leave your own note and tie it to the tree saying how much that tree grabs your attention. I bet the person that typed that note would think it was fun!
ReplyDeleteWay ahead of you Lily. Grateful minds think alike!
