What I Love This Week

I know, it’s another flower photo showing up in my blog. It’s verging on tiresome but the arrival of spring in Portland is beginning to make Mother Nature seem like a sadist. Yesterday we had hail and I’m still wearing gloves and a wool coat whenever I go out. The result is that the flowers and flowering trees have been very tentative and spotty- not the usual onslaught of petals and gorgeous scent.

So when my sweet delicate narcissus finally managed to open it had to be my favorite thing of the week. Like old fashioned ladies their gently nodding heads bob goodbye when I leave the house and welcome me back when I return. And that is a happy thing indeed.
