AKA the best laid plans ...
A friend and I planned to go tip toe through the tulips -
well, as gracefully as one can tip toe with a cane!
Luckily my stealth skills were NOT put to the test -
since, on the assigned day,
it POURED!
Could we have rescheduled?
Maybe, but when flowers bloom,
one good wind storm, more rain etc
and you've missed the window for the year.
Besides, both of us working in healthcare for 4 decades,
made us flexible -
crazy but flexible.
So we trudged on...
and enjoyed the heck out of the tulips planted in planters
from the parking lot to the restaurant.
(instead of the 4 acre fields, accessible only by open air wagons,
which weren't operating anyway because of the rain. )
It was glorious.
All of which is to say, don't change plans just because of rain.
Besides, rain doesn't find you inside while you're eating lunch
or stocking up on carrot cake muffins!
Whether your time this weekend focuses on the secular 
or the spiritual
make it a good one!
Keep searching for the beauty -
even it's small.
