When we got married a few years ago, my husband’s Aunt promised that as a wedding gift, she’d come over and plant hundreds of daffodil bulbs all over our property so that every spring, when we looked out the window, we’d be pleasantly surprised and reminded of the all the incredible gifts that life and love bring.

Well, she finally got around to planting the bulbs this fall, several huge sacks of them.

Now spring is just about here, and I can’t wait to see all the little green shoots and yellow flowers starting  to pop up everywhere in unexpected places. It will be a nice reminder (especially after a long, cold winter) year after year of both of her unusual and thoughtful gift, and the amazing things the world has brought us, and continues to bring us each spring.
