| Spring Daffodil |
1. Made the 2.5 mile hike up a small mountain nearby. Saw 2 chuckwallas and many butterflies.
2. Passing other hikers on their way down I was warned about a rattlesnake, sleeping near the top.
3. Missed the snake. Could not find it. ... My little drama for the day.
4. It was a clear day and very beautiful at the top. Sorry, no camera pics.
5. Mom died on an Easter Sunday quite a while ago. Every year, I remember her death on April 12th, on the following day I remember the day of her actual birth, April 13th. Coincidence? ...hardly.
Have you ever noticed important dates come together in interesting and special ways?
...Not sure if I really understand or know how to write about randomness but will keep working on it.
ran-dom adj Having no specific pattern, purpose, or objective: random movements.
Doesn't everything have purpose?

Beautiful daffodils. I am glad you missed that rattlesnake!!! Sometimes I wonder when people pass away at certain times. My grandmother passed away just after turning 90 and I wonder if she just held on until then wanting to reach that milestone birthday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful daffodils!
ReplyDeleteI would be especially glad to miss that snake!
Have a wonderful week-end!

What a wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous daffodils! Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos! I'm glad you missed the rattlesnake. My father died right after his 76th birthday. I can't think of his birthday--July 1--without thinking of the day he died--July 9.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Those daffodils are very lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteNice post and blog!
ReplyDeleteWould you like to follow each other?
Lovely pink daffodils, like them so much more than the yellow ones which are often too bright. Sure glad you missed that rattle-snake...not a good encounter.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful daffodils. Glad you hiked and didn't meet the snake!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I agree with you about dates. Love the flowers- they are gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteYou do great with your random thoughts and pictures!
I hope you got some shots while on your hike. I am pretty sure I don't want to see a rattle snake on a hike in the wild.
I still have my Mom and pray for her everyday. Now that I have a smart phone we text a lot. Mom's are special people and it sounds like you were close with yours.
Wow, am I the only one who doesn't know what a chuckwalla is?
ReplyDeleteWell you asked...here's a little info from some of the local experts:

Lovely pictures, and nice tribute to your mom. I don't think the dates are random!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the snake but you did not have your camera anyway :) Thank you for sharing your random thoughts - I like it!
ReplyDeletePleased you didn't come across that rattle snake! Your second photo is beautiful, lovely soft colours.
ReplyDeleteI would not have tried to find that snake! :)
ReplyDeleteThe daffodils are so pretty. I'm looking forward to hiking - we don't have rattlesnakes, thank goodness! I don't think I would have wanted to see one. I agree that there does seem to be a significance with certain dates. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe daffodils are so lovely. I find it very interesting that dates seem to fall together in surprising ways. I enjoyed visiting your list from nancy's meme.
ReplyDeleteSnakes of any kind rattle my cage!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Snake! Gorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job with your random post. That is sweet about your Mother. My kids use that random word with me. Maybe I should join in on this party..
ReplyDeleteOh I love that top photo it is stunning. I love your random five they made me "feel" different emotions. Hug thank you. B
ReplyDeleteDon't think I've seen daffodils with colours like that - beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAs for 'coincidences' in dates - yes. My grandfather passed away the day our twin girls turned 5, and my father-in-law passed away on the day between our anniversary and Father's Day - bittersweet.
Thanks for following - you are my 300th (!) follower, and I'm your 111th.
When my Mom passed away her funeral was on what would have been my wedding day. Sorry about your coincidence.
