Found a Penny in the Dirt

Today I had to ship some Etsy items I sold so went to the post office. Score. No lines! Then I ran to the bank. On the way home, I parked in a church parking lot and got the trusty magnet and my junk bag from the trunk. I walked around and well, didn't find a whole lot.

The church bordered a tree farm/nursery so I walked the little alley between the two, and I mostly just enjoyed the peace and quiet. You'd never think you were in the middle of a big city like Phoenix. I wish I lived there! Anyway, I did find a penny in the dirt. No picture. It's not terribly remarkable looking. It looks like a penny.
