Coming home, I noticed the yuccas in bloom:

I was think that awfully early for them to bloom. Not so much as the season, but they don't usually bloom until the end of life. Like a lot of life you have to sacrifice something to get something. Like the club ride. I'm always amazed at people who say "I rode past that?" when looking at my pictures. I'd rather not be at the front of the pack, and see what creation has on store.
A sometime beauty sneaks up on you:

I've had this catcus for about 4 years and it's the first time it's bloomed. It shouldn't die on me, but I would expect the blooms to be there next month.
Enjoy beauty when it presents itself.
