Varigated Tulip

May 8th 

Here are some happy things from today:

  • Tomorrow, Friday, is when I was hoping to leave and get back onto a trail.  I've packed almost everything I need.  The only thing that has made it into my car so far are the trekking poles.  I really didn't want to forget those twice.  ๐Ÿ™‚  
  • As far as my stuff is concerned, I'm mostly ready.  The funny thing is that I still don't know where I am going to start.  My family seems a little concerned that I don't have an itinerary.  There are places I want to hike and I've taken many notes.  They will get an itinerary tomorrow and I will stay in touch.  I have a Garmin Mini 2 that should be able to send messages even when I don't have cellphone service.  I'm not just going to write a note like Grandma Gatewood and disappear.   ๐Ÿ˜†
  • It is spring and I will get to see some lovely plant life on the trail.  At home, there are things getting ready to bloom that I will miss. 
This is the only peony that came up this year.
I hope someone sends me a picture when it blooms.

The lily of the valley are just starting to open.

The tulips have been around.  The different varieties bloom at slightly different times.  I really like the variegated ones.

Thank you for being here and being part of my daily happy things. Stay safe!
