Walk with Me - In my Garden

 "With daffodils mad footnotes for the spring,

And asters purple asterisks for autumn-"

~Conrad Aiken, Preludes for Memnon (1930)

Definitely daffodils open up in springtime in my garden with madness

and make the garden a happy place after the dreariness of winter.

 The purple crocus are now dotting the garden with laughter and smiles too.

 "Before the flowers open I often look to see if they are yet open

And when they begin to open I fear that wind and rain may come.

After the flowers have opened I care not for wind and rain;

I only care if you come not, to drink deep beneath the flowers."

~Liu Yin (1249-1293)

 The Lenten Rose (hellebore) are blooming also in the garden.

The first bloom of daffodils had it's portrait taken.

This week as I have been fighting a bit of a cold or virus

I decided on one sunny day just to walk in my own garden.

It brings me such joy just to see what is beginning to appear

in the early spring garden.

Each week let's take a walk whether close to home or far away.

Such JOY is found being outdoors and noticing what we notice.

Don't forget the give-away mentioned on Friday's post.
The winner will be announced on Friday of this week.
