With an ice storm last Friday and another coming soon, I
couldn’t resist the dazzling yellow daffodils at the grocery; a bunch was only
$1.69! They store them, the sign said, “dry”
so that they don’t pop open until the customer is ready. This made it a lot more convenient to carry
them throughout our many errands. I
bought them on Saturday but didn’t put them in water until Sunday afternoon; they
were beginning to open but most buds were tight. By bedtime they were all fully open! Water, just water brought them to life.
The fragrance is heady as I type a few feet from the glowing
trumpeters of spring. Despite the grey skies and cold temperatures,
in here it is spring.
