Are There Many Things Swirling Around Your Brain, Like Stray Daffodils?

Maybe it's a good thing to have many irons in the fire of life. Sometimes it can be overwhelming on what I "need" to do, but more importantly, what I want to do and can't get to it, whatever it may be. It could be something as important (to me) as a blog post. They have been skimpy lately because I am playing a lot of pickleball, visiting family in Virginia, working on my book, Joy Ride Journeys, and creating T-shirt Quilts for my wonderful clients. I am one lucky gal that I get to do all of these things and more. Oh, and it's not lost on me that I get to do, think, play pickleball, create (quilt & sew), write, and have some fun in all the processes.

I've got lists upon lists to keep everything straight, plus a paper calendar to keep me in check with times, especially.

Photo projects are another rabbit hole I went down this week. I'd like to share my process eventually.

Does it seem that the days are flying by faster and faster? Is it just me? Is it my age?

The last thing to share in this post is errant tulips and daffodils I've seen in the neighborhood, and my yard, too. I initially thought I was seeing things when I saw someone's front flower beds had random tulips in them. Or one popping out of the grass, and only grass where it shouldn't be. I didn't take a photo of it, but it seemed weird as I walked by. Is it nature doing its thing? Perhaps that is so.

The next day, as I was washing up some dishes in the sink and looking out the window. Only a few feet away was a single blooming daffodil. Not another one was in sight for several yards (they were clumped like usual) in some flower beds sprinkled around the yard. I guess this lonely daffy was like the lonely tulip. I never planted a bulb in the middle of the side yard, and I'm betting the owner of the house with the errant tulip didn't plant one in the middle of their yard, either. It was never there in the spring for the past 29 years, either. Who is moving these things?

How do these stray flowers keep warm since we've dipped in the 30s overnight - and it's SPRING, mind you. Maybe they can make nice with all the dandelions popping up more than a teenager with acne, since all their buddies are nicely packed into other flower beds and seem pretty happy, flaunting all their trumpets (middle of the flower), from what I can see.

Poor stray daffodil...
