She reminded me of this poem by William Wordsworth...I can see the dance of ten thousand. Enjoy!
Daffodils
By William Wordsworth
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.
Continuous as the
stars that shine
And twinkle on the
milky way,
They stretched in
never-ending line
Along the margin of a
bay:
Ten thousand saw I at
a glance,
Tossing their heads
in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them
danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling
waves in glee:
A poet could not but
be gay,
In such a jocund
company:
I gazed--and
gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show
to me had brought:
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.
Thanks for reading my blog, see you tomorrow,

My favourite flower. My smaller ones on the cliff and in the float garden have all bloomed. My larger variety on the float was just buds when we left the cabin yesterday. They should be in full bloom by the time we return in a week and a half. We are headed for Arizona for some sun and Spring Training baseball. - Margy
All the more precious for being the only one!
The more we anticipate, the longer it takes! Lovely final blossom! I sure hope you have many more soon!
Hi Margy, how was Spring Training? Were you welcomed home by your blooming daffodils on the float?
So true Vicki. And now it's covered in snow...
Betty, I think this is my one and only daffodil. My lily's are popping up, but it'll be a while before they bloom.
