Welcome Spring!

Springtime

Oh, spring came to my garden
And caught it unaware
Wearing just a few old leaves
And a dejected air.
But when spring left my garden,
Its work so deftly done,
Many, many Daffodils
Were dancing in the sun.

    The daff is my favorite flower… for this very reason.

    Pretty daffodil! One of these years I’m going to get some of those into the ground…

    I love the poem, and the daffodil photo.

    I’m so jealous — we are miles away from a full-blown daffodil here. But, we are down to a foot of snow to melt, so I will just have to wait.

    I’m considering you as a yes for the swap. I know you can do it!

    And, I stumbled on the cutest free font yesterday that was a PTOE looking one. I somehow spaced where that was and then saw your carbon post and tried and tried to find it again…to no avail.

    p.s. I’m in a homeschool info gathering mode…planning/hoping/knowing to start in the fall. I will hope you will let me ask lots of questions and will need every one of your lesson posts to help me through!
