Serendipity can be such a blessing.
This morning I was out in the woods, planting things and trying to get our wilderness under control so we could enjoy it. As I wrapped up and emerged into the backyard, I realized I no longer had my eyeglasses with me. These were my daily-driver progressive trifocals, so I was a little bummed out that they could be anywhere out there. I pretty much wrote off any chance of finding them.
This afternoon I had a flash of inspiration: I'd received a really awesome metal detector for Christmas... two years ago... and STILL haven't had enough time to truly use it! No time like the present... after a quick charge, off I went. I scanned over all my work sites, in the order I did them, and my path between them. At last I emerged from the woods and made my way to the brush pile (in two more weeks we won't need a burn permit). There, beside a couple of small branches I'd cut off a beech tree, were my glasses!
One happy Chief this evening
