“She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
“Winter is dead.”
I’ve had more fun watching the bulbs I’ve bought at Trader Joes bloom and grow. A most reasonable way to bring spring inside, and to wallow in their beauty.

Absolutely perfect match of images and verse, Margie. Lovely. 🙂
Yellow flowers looking bright and happy. They could warm any
cold heart. ~~~~ : – )
I like that poem! So perfect for your photos.
I’m loving all your flowers. Do you deliver? xoxo
Oooo, I’d be on your doorstep in a flash if I was close by, bouquet, bulb or both in hand!!
Ah yes, I love watching the progress of flowers blooming. Your photos are gorgeous.
Once upon a time, we had a big patch of flowers called 8 o’clocks that bloomed in the evening. Ours was more like 8:15 o’clocks and never did bloom at 8, however, every day, you’d find one or both us sitting next to them watching the plants and bloom pods wiggle and move as they burst open in blooms. It’s enchanting and magical as they all open…. It was good fun until the Japanese Beetles took a liking to them and ate them to death… The next year it was the same attack so we stopped growing the 8 o’ clocks. but we still miss them and speak of them every year.
We had those when I was a little girl, lining our driveways. Loved that they opened and closed each day.
They are just “happy”! Dang I wish we had a Trader Joe’s close!! Good Mornin’!
Oh yes “how do they know?” is an interesting question.
Cheers 🙂
Hooray, happy spring!
They just do . . . sunshine helps a bunch!
The Milne quote is perfect for this lovely post.
