As my regular readers (thank you) know, we moved to this farm last summer. Imagine my surprise, then, when I have been discovering dozens and dozens of tulips and daffodils coming up all over this four acre property. I asked God tonight if He knew I was going to be moving here. Few people would enjoy these surprises more than I. When I see them I usually bring in the flowers. These are amongst some crown of thorns plants I have been rooting in the kitchen window. Many of you live in southern parts of the U.S., so tulips and daffodils may not seem like such a big deal. However, when you live in a place like this, where winters last at least through the middle of April, the joys of spring and summer are more appreciated every year.
Yes, it's true I take it for granted. We've jumped yet again from a very mild winter straight to summer. It's been 80 degrees here all week. So what flowers do for you, snow does for me.
ReplyDeleteI too love to see Daffs, Tulips and Grape hyacinths come up, they are a sure sign of warmer weather.
