Early Bloomers

"The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size." ~ Gertrude S. Wister

Yesterday, I saw the season's first daffodils. Snowdrops and crocus are bringing life and color to people's yards.

I found this quote to be so true. I will admire the tulips and dogwoods that arrive later, but there is an unparalleled, spirit-lifing joy that comes with first sight of the tiniest and earliest blooms.
