Oh, I know we only have four days left in February, and we can hear March calling. But remember, she is a fickle girl. She can bring more “wintry mix”, bone chilling mornings, pointless drizzly days. So, here’s a suggestion.
Hie Thee Hither to Hannaford, and grab a bunch of spring. Tulips in sunny yellow, tinged with rosy red. Tulips in shades of magenta and Easter purple. Choose your favorites. Then rush them home and plunk them in a tall vase of fresh water, adding a penny for longevity – try it! It works. They will love you for it. Watch as these beauties slowly open up to you, bending and bowing magically as they continue – that’s right – continue to grow.
Every time I look at this gift from my dear friend, I’m reminded that spring is on the way.
