“A flower does not use words to announce its arrival to the world; it just blooms.”

The blooms of this winter daphne always catch me off guard. I noticed the tiny, pink buds a couple of weeks ago, and then forgot about it. But there it was yesterday, blooming. It grows in the yard of a neighbor, so I don’t see it every day. But I have to tell you, when I saw that splash of pink yesterday, my heart did a little dance.
