the strength of spring

April. I’ve been naively surprised by the mornings snow too many times. Yet the daffodils persist. These blooms have been covered by at least a few inches of snow multiple times but still managed to bloom triumphant.  As a florist, I always considered daffodils to be rather weak, fainting in the heat.  As a gardener, I now celebrate their strength and brash, early beauty. happy spring.
