Daffodils and other Spring gifts

“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.”    -William Wordsworth

Hi friends,

I think I memorized this poem in elementary school and it runs through my head every spring when the daffodils begin to bloom.  What a special poem that helps to describe our first emotions that Spring is coming.  We long to see the blooms knowing we are in store for warmer days.  What a happy poem William Wordsworth.  Nature has forged a strong connection between itself and the soul of mankind.

My neighbor’s yard…I love the rocks as a border.

I just love how these big horses do almost everything Maddie says.  She is Eight years old but she is very small. I think they just feel the love.

On the way home, I just had to stop and get a photo of this  old vintage truck at an antique shop very near my home. I pass by it every day.  Just love it.
