”It once was lost, but now is found…” Obviously this line refers to many of my earrings.
About a month ago when I was mowing I knew I’d lost an earring. I even thought I knew where it would have been ripped out as I had facial scratches from the shrub to confirm it. It was just too much effort to go and look for it though, so I didn’t. (Too many adornments have been lost in the yard.) Then…Voila!
My son was helping me with yard work and mowing. He came trotting in with the errant earring. He had found it on the mower. It happens to be the mate to my favorite pair of hoops. Once, after four years I found an earring I’d lost hanging on the artificial Christmas tree. It was another favorite – a green and purple pair.
It’s been over ten years now, but I’m still hanging on to the ostrich egg earring I lost long ago. You never know!
