Just when you think you've seen it all.... you get surprised.

A couple of days ago my husband and I were walking through our 12-acre apartment community on the way to the bus stop admiring the new windows that had been replaced in some of the units.

Much to our surprise as we surveyed the view, our sweeping gaze was stopped by an amazing sight.

There are the apartment balcony were five gutted fish with their heads still attached hanging from a clothesline.

Yes, you read that correctly fish on the clothesline.

My first thought was that's an interesting way to dry fish.. a little unconventional but a creative possibility.

My husband's first thought was wow, how many flies can five fish draw in one place?

We did have a discussion about that as we continued on our way to catch the bus.

There are several conclusions you can draw from this encounter:

1. A clothesline has many uses, not just to hang your clothes to dry them.

2. Creativity abounds in an apartment community.

3. If you have an unusual amount of flies swarming your apartment, check your neighbor's balcony.

4. Isn't it grand that life is never boring in an apartment community? It is likely that you wouldn't be hanging fish from your own clothesline.

Embrace something different in your life today. Not everything in this world fits into your preconceived plan.

Go with the flow and see the wonderful things that happen.
