Tortilla Blessings

The term "tortilla blessing" was coined many years ago by my son when he opened a package of tortillas to find one more tortilla inside than I'd paid for. Consequently, anytime I receive more than I expected, or attain something positive I didn't bargain for, I categorize it as a tortilla blessing.

In my garden, I've learned to enjoy tortilla blessings as they occur - an unexpected flower bloom on one of my plants; the gift of rain on a day that I don't feel like watering; a sale at the local nursery that allows me to buy extra plants; a second crop of onions that bloom after a failed first attempt. Simple happenings really, but blessings nonetheless.
