Still A Dreamer

“A wizard must have passed this way

Since — was it only yesterday?

Then all was bare, and now, behold,

A hundred cups of living gold!”

~ Emma C. Dowd, “Daffodil and Crocus,” April 1902

Inspired by the daffodil above, my niece shared some of the lovely daffodils from her own garden, sitting pretty in a vase she rescued from a neighbor who was about to get rid of it. What a happy choice!

     You and me both! It seems like it’s taken forever for Spring to get here, and even though it’s going down to 24 degrees tonight (Yikes!) all the sunny and colorful signs are out there. They are so welcome!

     Thanks, Cynthia. I love quotes – they generally say such wonderful things in far less words than I generally use! LOL
