It is a beautiful day in Upstate New York. The sun is shining. The sky is blue. If one ignores the cold temp, snow on the ground and the bare trees, one could think serious thoughts about spring.
In today's mail, I received the newest edition of one of three magazines to which I subscribe. On the front cover is a bouquet of bright yellow daffodils. Daffies are my favorite flowers. They are bright and cheerful and most importantly, they come in spring.
On April 21 last year, I remarried. It was a smallish wedding with a smallish reception, but the flowers were abundant. The yellow daffodils and multi-colored tulips filled each dragonfly-decorated vase to capacity.
So today's magazine cover is a very welcome sight because it sings of spring and reminds me of our wedding. Come true spring -- not what the calendar says -- but in another 6 to 8 weeks if we're lucky, the daffodils in the garden will be as beautiful as those in the picture above. If anybody is reading this blog and likes daffies as I do, look for a post of pictures of our daffies toward the end of April.
Life changes - Just when I think I will go stir crazy because of the long, gray winters in Upstate New York, I am reminded that spring always returns. I just have to hang in long enough to see it!
