Jean brought in the tulips and daffodils
by the armload and for the first time in
her life was amazed by them. How had she
missed them all these years, she wondered,
their colours, the clinging, yearning scent,
the slippery sap and the stamens, so
unbearably naked and tuned to the air that
it was impossible to believe they were not
receiving some strain of music too fine for
human ears.

Ahhh......Spring is Springing beautifully!!!

Oooooooh. I'm so jealous. We're still buried in snow, shivering in the cold, housebound, pale, wearing coats, boots, gloves, hats, scraping ice off the windshield........
Flowers! It gives me hope that I can get mine in the ground or pots, knowing that they won't freeze. Loved the bright and cheery pictures!
