Spring Flowers

My husband surprised me yesterday with my favorite flower: daffodils. I love them because of the silly and old-fashioned name, because they’re bright and cheerful, and because of the lovely but not overwhelming scent. But most of all, I love daffodils because they tell me that even though we still have snow, somewhere spring flowers are blooming, and it’s only a matter of time before spring comes to Alaska.


A bouquet of daffodils = Happiness

    I love daffodils. There's a nursery rhyme:

    Daffy-down-Dilly
    Has come to town
    With a yellow petticoat
    And a pretty green gown
    Daffy-down-Dilly.

    I've heard them called 'daffa-down-dilly', as well. However you say them, they're my favorite spring flower. I bet your house is beautifully scented now!

Relocating to Alaska after a family tragedy seemed an ideal way for author R.D. “Mac” Macleod to grieve in peace. But solitude feels overrated when Mac’s around B&B owner Ursula Anderson and her orphaned goddaughter, Rory, who’s already bonding with his dog. Worse, he’s imagining a future with Ursula and Rory. Is it time to finally forgive himself?
