This week’s bouquet is a lovely combination of sunlight and simplicity.
We had strong thunderstorms yesterday and very high winds today, leaving many of the daffodils with their faces in the dirt. With a soft shower in the kitchen sink, they were soon looking lovely and happy again.
I knew they wouldn’t be able to pick themselves up again, so I decided to bring them in and enjoy their beauty. Being quarantined and working from home, I am able to carry them around from room to room to fully enjoy their company and uplifting presence.
Daffodils are not an exotic flower, but they contain within themselves, the essence of hope. To me, they shout winter is behind us, and joy, sun, warmth, and color are on the way. They are the trumpeters of spring.
This little sweetheart, actually has a double trumpet.
In these troubling and difficult times of uncertainty, I pray these simple daffodils bring you joy, hope, and a smile to your face.

Thanks for sharing these lovelies, Cindy. They do sing a sweet song of spring!
Thank you Eliza. They make such a difference to cheer up the yard and my house. I hope yours are blooming or not far behind ours. Happy Monday!
What’s not to love about them – your vase is cheerful and gorgeous, thanks for sharing 🙂 Take care
Thank you Annette! There is nothing like daffodils to cheer us in these early, dreary days of spring, when winter doesn’t want to let go.
They are very cheery. What a good idea to move them around the house with you.
I take them into my bedroom at night so I can smell them. Now they are here in the living room with me while I’m working. It has been so nice to work from home for this very reason.
The quality of light in these pictures is stunning, Cindy, almost ethereal, and it really shows these off for the sunny blooms they are. I especially like that frothy double one. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Cathy. They have been right next to me all day as I work, and every once in awhile, I stick my whole face in them to soothe my soul and absorb their smell and sunshine.
Beautiful photos of beautiful flowers! They did bring a smile to my face!
They have been a joy to have in the house this week with our dreary cold weather and working from home.
I love daffodils, and that double-trumpeted one is charming! I hope your winter is indeed over and you can soon enjoy time outside in your garden.
Winter is always slow to leave. Once we get to April, it should start improving on a daily basis. Just have to get over this hump of damp, cold, dreariness.
Yes, all three, thank you Cindy! xx
Beautiful! I so used to enjoy bringing bouquets of Daff’s in the house in the Spring. I had so many different varieties. Oh how I miss them. At my new house I just started planting them last fall and I didn’t plant nearly enough. Drink in your beautiful springtime flowers!! Up next: Tulips!
