Daffodils are out in full, my GF would love them when she was here. Daffodils:) At last springtime. 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. |

Moomin I don't know where you dig all that stuff up but your good at it. Hehe:) I'm in a springtime mood and that poem just popped up when I googled Daffodil. Here they are called Påsklilja "Easter Lily". And GNU has has some nice shots of Snowdrops "Snödroppar" which make me think of another poem this one by Karin Boye. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=82358&postid=1920271#1920271 Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking. Why else would the springtime falter? Why would all our ardent longing bind itself in frozen, bitter pallor? After all, the bud was covered all the winter. What new thing is it that bursts and wears? Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking, hurts for that which grows and that which bars. Yes, it is hard when drops are falling. Trembling with fear, and heavy hanging, cleaving to the twig, and swelling, sliding - weight draws them down, though they go on clinging. Hard to be uncertain, afraid and divided, hard to feel the depths attract and call, yet sit fast and merely tremble - hard to want to stay and want to fall. Then, when things are worst and nothing helps the tree's buds break as in rejoicing, then, when no fear holds back any longer, down in glitter go the twig's drops plunging, forget that they were frightened by the new, forget their fear before the flight unfurled - feel for a second their greatest safety, rest in that trust that creates the world. |

I'm just glad I had my tv satellite dish installed on the ground instead of the roof because I've been having to go out and brush snow off it. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

The first time I heard the word Marsupial was on Capt. Kangaroo. Mr. Green Jeans used to bring an animal on the show. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |
