things to come

We had to do a few outdoor chores today and the weather was delightful.  The flowers and trees are a couple of months behind on their annual show this year.  All of the cold temperatures have forced them to stay indoors I suppose.  Today I found a few that were willing to brave the cold and bloom in spite of it! 

Isn't it beautiful!

The perfect pink against a crystal blue with the melody of the honeybees gently in my ears. 

I found myself trying to crawl up in the bushes to experience them as those bees were doing.  They sounded SO happy.

 

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.    Wordsworth

Take heart -  Spring is near!
