| | Daffodils | | 2008-08-24 18:35:00 | | A great piece of poetry is timeless, and having said that, one of my favourite poem of all times will have to be the Daffodils by William Wordsworth.I wandered lonely as a cloudThat 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 shineAnd twinkle on the Milky Way,They stretched in never-ending lineAlong the margin of a bay:Ten thousand saw I at a glance,Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.The waves beside them danced; but theyOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:A poet could not but be gay,In such a jocund company:I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thoughtWhat wealth the show to me had brought:For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,They flash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of solitude;And then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils.

| Two Daffodils | | 2008-04-18 04:55:22 | | I don’t have much to say today. My heart feels very heavy and I have been sick to my stomach a lot. There hasn’t been much change in Molly’s condition, she seems to be able to get comfortable and is now able to walk around a bit. Having a sick dog around the house is terrible. I want to thank those that sent emails and left comments.Here are a few Daffodil pictures I took at work this week. I don’t think I will be going anywhere to specifically take pictures and I hope I can grab enough shots at work to keep this spot going.“Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.”Horace (65 BC-8 BC)... | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |
| | St David's day - daffodils and leeks | | 2008-03-01 09:12:00 | | St David is the patron saint of Wales and was born some time in the sixth century. His father was called Sant and his mother Non. St David's name was Dewi Sant. It has been claimed that during his life he went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. It is also documented that once whilst he was preaching the ground where he stood rose into a mound so that everyone could see his face.
Today, many people celebrate St David's day by wearing a daffodil or baby leek pinned to their clothing. Wales often uses the flag of St David, which contains the red dragon, as its national flag.
Happy St David's day to you all!

| | A host, of golden daffodils | | 2008-02-18 06:01:00 | | Although it is February we are having many spring-like days with bright sunshine which is encouraging the flowers to bloom up to six or more weeks earlier than usual. Many of the daffodils are now fully out.
However, some plants appear to be holding back and look as though they will flower later than anticipated.
We are very lucky to have wild primroses in our garden. A baby wild primrose was given to me over twenty years ago by an old country couple that lived in the wilds of Worcestershire. Their cottage backed on to craggy fields and they had wild primroses in their borders. This little baby primrose has only settled into one spot in my garden and has only spread approximately 6 inches. Here is a picture of it ... as you can see the leaves are especially short, so far, this year.
