Lovely, Candace. But even though their flowers fade and die, they resurrect in the Spring, and there is also another Spring.

Me too! Ours are fading fast this warm week. They’re my daughter’s favorite and we planted them for her. Every year when they fade, it reminds me she’s another year older, too. Which is a great thing, and also sad. Daffodils are so poignant for me. I loved this piece. 💛

"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

You've certainly filled my heart with pleasure with that gorgeous painting of that daffodil, Candace! And you've added to the bliss of solitude. Thank you!

I’m always a bit weary to pick daffodils, because I know just how quickly they’ll be gone! Beautiful illustration
