I have a "thing" about daffodils, probably Because Grandma had planted the Bulbs along the edge of our yard next to The gravel road. They proliferated. I loved them. I remember picking a bouquet for my Teacher and carefully transporting the Flowers in a canning jar on the school bus. Several years ago I was excited to find the Yellow blooms lining the lawn of an Abandoned farmhouse near my condo. I helped myself and filled several vases with The flowers. But alas! The farmhouse was razed and the Land cleared. Coming back from Florida it seemed like Daffodils were blooming everywhere, But on private property. How happy Danny and I were to spy Clumps of the flowers hidden in the Wooded area behind our house! Who could have planted them? A farm wife? A squirrel? Danny exchanged his church clothes for Old apparel and pushed his way through the Thorny underbrush. He returned with a handful of the precious Yellow posies. (Along with muddy shoes.) I gushed my appreciation to my dear Husband as only I could gush. Danny's gift was one of love and labor, A perk that brought back poignant Daffodil memories, a perfect perk for Easter day. |

I usually celebrate the first day of
Spring with gusto. I unpack my spring mugs and Toast the season with a hot Cup of coffee along with a bit of Something sweet. But not this year. I groaned. I caught a bug and spent the day in My recliner while I constantly blew My nose. Last night I slept 10 hours. Today I'm still carrying my tissue Box with me everywhere I go. But I did gather my spring mugs from The garage and I'm sipping on Tea that my sweet neighbor tucked Inside my screen door. It's aptly named, Immunity Boost. I guess I should have been drinking it Weeks ago. But her thoughtfulness boosted my Spirit. And I'm grateful my Covid test was Negative and that I have no fever and That I still have an appetite and that Spring arrived on schedule even Though I wasn't ready for it.
