God in a Flower

The daffodils bloomed at the farm last weekend.

Sometimes I feel guilty picking them, but I succomb

to their beauty.

They bring the feeling of spring, and growth

and warmth.


They fill many places in my home with their unexpected

details.

I am looking forward to their bright colors and

smells that fill the air.

I had the lovely ole' stomach flu that has

been circulating around here.

All weekend indoors and feeling kinda

tired and sluggish while I recoup.

Hope this Monday finds you in good health.

    I love daffodils.
    I know what you mean about cutting them. I rarely cut my flowers, but my daughter always cuts them when she comes home, and they are beautiful indoors and the ones out still look ok too.

    Mine haven't bloomed yet, but I think it will be soon.

    Wonderful vignettes of your daffodils -- you are the master at this, I believe. :)

    What a beautiful sight I love to see the daffodils blooming, the first signs of Spring. I always sneak a few broken ones indoors myself as well.
