The Lost Button.

The lost button. I chuckled as I drew the button of the day out of the simple mason jar. Having slept in my clothes with the button of yesterday in my pocket, today seemed significant. My fingers dug deep and pulled out pink. A pink and fancy button. Swirled. Small shank. Textured. Soooo sweet. I dropped it in my pocket.
I am rising with the dawn this week - a great discipline and much easier if you fall asleep at 8 pm. The sky was the same color as the button- rosy pink when I peeked out the window. I had a full day planned and was feeling pretty rosy myself. I got to my first destination an hour and a half after I planned. ughhhh. So much for Plan A.
My eleven oclock doctor appointment for my rosy red ear ache was switched to 4 oclock so I decided to stay out of the heat and go to the greenhouse after the heat of the day. I would embrace AC.
I ran into the hardware store to puzzle over paint chips for a bit before the doctor appointment and almost missed it but did find a palette of colors I love for my house.
I rushed to the greenhouse next to water the wilting vines since work was now out of the question. Enjoying the flowers I reached into my pocket to appreciate my button.
Lost. Just like the day.
