“The daffodil is our doorside queen; She pushes upward the sword already,
To spot with sunshine the early green.”
To spot with sunshine the early green.”

An Invitation to the Country
The daffodils got the memo: It was the first day of spring yesterday.
And seemingly overnight, the bright green shoots I'd been watching for a week suddenly sported tiny yellow sunbonnets outside my front door.
On Sunday morning, the daffodils at the church parsonage seemed to be on steroids. My daffodils at home were anemic compared to the hearty variety planted near our minister's door.
These are my kind of flowers. They bloom in spite of my ineptitude as a gardener.
Welcome spring!
