Yesterday’s adventure was supposed to take me and a friend to a sunflower field near Yellow Springs, Ohio. Sadly, we’ve had a dry spell and learned Friday that the sunflowers aren’t blooming yet.
So we quickly formed a Plan B and headed out for a different kind of adventure. We spent the day roaming Franklin Park Conservatory and doing a little bargain shopping for clothes, books and antiques.
Nothing makes me happier than buying a book I look forward to reading.
Unless it’s a Chinese buffet with plenty of veggies.
It was fall at Franklin Park!
The bonsai always fascinate me.
Can you believe this tiger is made with live materials?
It wasn’t the day we had planned but it was still a fantastically fun day. I am grateful to be so flexible and willing to shift or pivot as needed when things don’t go as planned.
Life rarely goes as planned and sometimes it’s best to acknowledge we really are just along for the ride. Sunday is my day for rest and preparation for the week ahead. Here’s hoping that goes according to plan.
As for you, I hope this day takes you wherever you want to be and that it is a happy one.
No, I cannot believe that tiger is made out of live materials! Amazing! A day at a conservatory, eating out, a new book and bargain shopping – why that’s a day made in heaven. It’s funny that your sunflowers haven’t bloomed yet. Around here, they bloom in July/August. Hope you have a good week ahead!
It was a fabulous day! So, you can plant sunflowers at different times during Ohio’s growing season. We had sunflower fields that were open in July and August but I think those were all places that only plant sunflowers. They usually are winding down by now this has been a terribly dry season for them.
Taking another path always creates new beautiful wonders!
It can if we allow it to!
