My goodness, just when I thought my earring was irretrievably lost, I saw it lying on top of leaves in my yard (note to self: another good reason not to blow leaves away too early in spring!). Can you spot it?
It was around the beginning of March that I first realized that one of my earrings was missing (the rest are packed and wrapped). I have no recollection of losing it, so there was no real clue as to where I should look beyond the previous day's clothing or bedsheets. I had just vacuumed and shaken out rugs that day, so didn't hold out much hope of finding it, despite going through a lot of dust and dirt in the vacuum canister. There were no diamonds to worry about losing though, but they were my good old everyday silver pair that should never fall off! They were the best, most comfortable pair.
I couldn't believe it when I encountered my missing earring on April 1st (had Dale played an elaborate joke on me?) as I walked around the yard. This is the benefit of looking closely at everything, I guess. I wasn't out looking for it, that's for sure, as I'd long accepted it was gone for good.
What an incredibly fortuitous find!
