Daffodils by Bess Huefner

 

I read an interesting article by Chris Huston called, “The inevitability of daffodils” in the Magic Valley Times-News printed May 14th, 2023. His article started me thinking about one of my favorite flowers - the daffodil. No matter how tough the winter has been when a daffodil forces its way to the surface (even during the latest snowfall) you can believe spring is on its way. The bright yellow flowers wave to us in our cocooned environment and seem to say, “I’m here come out and play in the dirt”.

Catastrophic events happen in our lives, our communities, and our world but the daffodils still come up as a testament to us that life will go on, perhaps not in the way that we thought, but onward.
