Don't fee like the Lone Ranger! I have ADD so bad that I can never concentrate on any one thing.....ALL stimuli have the same urgency and importance in my life.....I flit like a butterfly from one thing to the next.....
Just like going from upstairs to downstairs, with a clear purpose in mind, and then getting distracted by all kinds of other things along the way. When i get there, I totally no longer know WHY I came downstairs.....And--i KNOW when i am doing this...and I say--"Now, FOCUS!!!".....and still i do not....It is so frustrating......

Sometimes I will go back upstairs in hopes some "AHA" moment will hit me and i will remember what I was going downstairs for! Not usually, though. It just becomes a lost cause......

That is also why i am not a reader. I cannot stay with more than a couple of paragraphs---by then my mind takes off to some La-La land--while my eyes keep reading--but I am not paying any attention......Then I go "WHOA!"----you were reading here, were you not??? Then i have to go back and re-read whatever i was not paying attention to. It's almost laughable!
Because of all this--College was pure H--l!!!!

And--being compulsive often goes along with this......I used to take notes in College with 3 different colored pens--all in my right hand.....Black or blue was for regular note-taking.....Green was for captions and titles---and red was for something really, really important!!!!

OK! This post WAS about Spring projects......sorry! Ric--you started this topic!!! It is your fault!!!!

Loving my B.E. S. in the front bed!!!! From ONE plant--3 years ago--it is now a pretty large clump!
