Daffodils

I love Daffodils. Yes, I am writing a blogpost about Daffodils...and my first blogpost in almost 2 months at that. Like I said, I love them. I get it from my Mama...

When I was younger and we were living on Burke Circle the sweet yellow flowers lined the ditch at the end of our short, stub of a driveway. They also sat at the trunks of the trees that separated our house from Mr. Hamp's. Mama and I would pick them together every Spring. I vividly remember our flower-picking escapades being followed by mudpie-making sessions. I never understood why they were called mudPIES. You eat pie. You do NOT eat mud, at least this little Miss Priss didn't. I get now that it's figurative, but that was so weird to me as a little girl.

Anyway, back to Daffodils. As I have grown older, I think I have just started loving them that much more. I love when I see them, because I know Spring is a' comin'. I love when Patrick pulls over on the side of the road so I can swiftly yank them out of the ground outside Post (oops!). I also love when he brings me sweet hand-picked bouquets of them from his yard. Don't get any ideas...he's taken! ;) My only issues with Daffodils are that they come and go way too fast and they don't last very long once you pick them. Most of all, I love them because they remind me of my childhood, my Mama, and just home in general. Home will always be where my heart is...I am grateful for the foundation it has provided and the love and confidence it always gives. Daffodils remind me of this blessing.

Now I just want to go run through a meadow of them and sing and dance...

 Here's to a Happy Spring and reminiscing on sweet memories that have made a difference in your life...

P.S. I like the bright yellow ones better than the pale yellow/whitish ones.

P.S.S. That picture makes me think of a Lord Byron quote..."On with the dance...let JOY be unconfined!"

My brain has turned to mush...

due to 3 snow days so I am going to blog in bullets. I like bullets better than paragraphs anyway.

 I can't believe we have been out of school/work because ice has taken over this city. I miss my Sissy, as well as the rest of my family, but the fact that she is home from Ole Miss still and I can't see her is ruffling my feathers. I wish I was in McDonough with my family during this ice madness to play on 4wheelers and such, although 3 days with my boyfriend and Virg has been more than awesome! Go see Country Strong. Gwenyth can wail. Appreciate the message--it can apply even if you aren't "famous", I think. I miss being at 101 with O and P. I love my job. Obama quoted my favorite Scripture tonight and I was reminded that God is bigger then the Presidency and He is in control. I just peeled a pomegranate...so annoying yet something about it makes me feel so accomplished. Speaking of feeling accomplished, we finally managed to get the 7 or so bags of trash piled up in our apartment to the dumpster today. Did I just admit that to all of cyberspace? I'm looking forward to this weekend...yes, I know I have not worked since Sunday, but I'm looking forward to spending time with Ashley and Tyler, possibly seeing Tripp ball, and going to church among many other things. 

Clearly, I opted out of the bullets....went for the stream of consciousness instead.

In other news, my heart is full. I'm learning SO much in this stage of life. It feels good to have my fear eaten up by truly believing God is orchestrating my every move.

Oh and I stumbled across this picture and I liked it and it made me think of SOS...

I'm getting distracted by Live to Dance now...Yay for attempting to get to work tomorrow.

BIG Love,
