“Though many a flower in the wood is waking,
The daffodil is our doorside queen;
She pushes upward the sword already,
To spot with sunshine the early green.”
--William Cullen Bryant, An Invitation to the Country
May we all wake an hour earlier tomorrow morning with a promise of spring by our doorstep!
In the spirit of full disclosure, the urn pictured above is not mine but rather a round-the-corner neighbor’s. In the spirit of exceptionally full disclosure, my neighbor told me that her neighbor fills her urns as a gift each spring. In the spirit of ridiculously full disclosure, now I am jealous of both her urns and her neighbor! And the Mister reminds me, “Comparison is the thief of joy!”
Just Beautiful!! Enjoy your weekend, Martina
ReplyDeleteThe Mister is correct, but I can so relate! The urn and flowers are wonderful. I am very excited to Spring forward tonight! This year is probably the first year than I have asked repeatedly, "when does the time change" because I am so, so, so ready!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend from the Pee Dee!
Your round the corner neighbors' planter is GORGEOUS and makes me want to run not walk to the nearest nursery and get busy with my spring planting...that is just perfection!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun story of passing along the beauty, and your
ReplyDeletehusband's quote just added to the pleasure.
spring is glorious!
I love all your disclosure-you made me chuckle. Thank you for stopping by Brambly and following, I'm glad to have you as a new friend and I'm looking forward to your future posts.

Love the beautiful daffodils - can't wait to see them popping up around here. And although I'm a little groggy today with the time change, it was great to have the extra light at the ed of the day!
ReplyDeleteI was jealous of your flowers until I read they were your neighbors, so now I'm jealous twice LOL
