Ted, Shane and I went for a wonderful 3 1/2 mile walk this morning. It was a day off from “real” work so I had fun things planned.
It’s the Fort To Fort run tomorrow. The weather looks absolutely PERFECT! I should be excited, so why am I nervous? This is a short run, 10K. What’s going on in my head that I can’t pull into my conscious thought?
To counteract that nervousness, I busied myself in the kitchen and while working in my kitchen, I took a glance out the window. Wait! Could it be?!
I have to grab the camera and get a little closer
Sneaking up on it, ever so quietly….
Among the burdocks and the weeds…
The daffodil. Spring has sprung! 🙂
I WANDER’D 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 stretch’d 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.
- By William Wordsworth (1770-1850).
A wonderful surprise to find in our yard on Good Friday.
I’ve been busy preparing for Easter.
How about you?

Ahhh!! Daffodils! I love spring flowers. We don’t have anything but crocuses up here right now. Things will pop this weekend with the warm temps, though.
Have a super race!
