yellow catching my breath mellow sunshine and summer welcoming radiant days freedom and lightness the beans of power bitter and hot, delicious at the crack of dawn snowflakes and freezing on my doorsteps, going out hat, scarf, gloves and boots
Lots of tulips at the grocery store last weekend! All colours, spring was in the air, I almost forgot the freezing weather outside. I got the yellow ones to warm up my home and my mood. This poem depicts my mornings this week, the yellow tulips on the kitchen countertop, the coffee brewing, the warm indoors contrasting with the cold and the snow outside. Hope you find wonderful flowers on your way today, if not in the garden at least at the grocery store!
