A Favorite ~

Daffodowndilly

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
"Winter is dead."

A.A. Milne

the daffodil was

 my mother's

 favorite flower 

and 

yellow was her

 favorite color

a winning combination

 

 

 

A Fresh Covering ~

“Those who contemplate

 the beauty of the earth

 find reserves of strength that

 will endure as long as life lasts.

 There is something infinitely healing

 in the repeated refrains of nature --

 the assurance that dawn comes after night,

 and spring after winter.”

Rachel Carson

there are times

when it takes longer than

 other times but it

 will come
