Daffodils are the BEST! Jon planted rows of them in front of our blue house with white shutters in Terre Haute--I love the memories still; while I was a Girl Scout Director of Education, the Daffodil Society sponsored troops of daffodil planters all over the Cincinnati area: "toss the bulbs randomly on any hillside" they directed.
And does anyone remember the thousands of daffodils planted in NYC after 9/11? I think I'll search the net for "where are they now?" Or inspire Mellen to inspire a GMA feature--or Tariq or Juliet to do a YouTube--it's all about the spring thing!
The iris photo comes from my brother Bob's collection of delights he and Marilyn encounter on their walks in Winton Woods, or from his yard, or maybe he took a trip back to Greendale to check and see if there are yet remnants of Grandmother Cole's glorious garden.

Yesterday we sat on the bleachers in Davidson to watch Sam the starting pitcher get 8 Little Leaguers out before giving up a great hit by the opposition kid. Next play, a pony tailed girl named McKenna scooped up the grounder to her at second, flipped it to first for the 9th out. Meanwhile, on offense, Sam struck out with the bases loaded (but hey, he doesn't get paid to hit or run!) did finally get on with a grounder, scored the third run, made an in-the sun catch at third later in the game. The Cornelius team did fight back, eventually tied the game--and that's how it ended. EVERYBODY was a winner! That's spring....
Oh, and then there's all this basketball.
All of this, and sunshine. Except in Washington where the fury and righteous indignation over bonuses seems like such perfect political b*#* S##*! posturing to prevent education and healthcare and energy reform as the Mostly Old White Guy fat pigs without lipstick can continue to complain about those horrible deficits--while corporate crooks continue to earn 400% higher salaries than their workers.
Maybe when the cherry blossoms come out, everyone will stop yelling, calm down and remember that gifts from Japan were given to the US in the Asian tradtion of appreciation of simple, natural beauty overcoming the most horrible of pain. We can learn from the world. Media plea, listen to more women...get Hillary on the air! Spring forward!
