MERCI: Yes, she does a wild dance in the dog pen and all the neighbors come over to take photos.
PERCY: I can't believe you just said that, Merci. You never lie!
MERCI; I wasn't lying. I was sprinkling fairy dust on the story to make it more interesting. (A Little Fairy Dust.)
PERCY: You're right. That does make a better story. Let's leave it in.
MERCI: Our daffodils are on the neighbor's property line and when their privacy fence was installed on top of them,, Jan thought they were lost forever.
PERCY: Oh, she of little faith. They don't grow straight, though. They crowd close to the fence and lean forward.
MERCI: These were the first buds of the season last month.
PERCY: They are the hardware of spring at our house.
MERCI: I believe you mean the harbinger of spring.
PERCY: No, I actually meant hardware. You don't have a working computer without hardware and spring can't arrive without a pre-promenade of daffodils.
MERCI: You're making that up. There's no such word as pre-promenade.
PERCY: Perhaps there wasn't. There is now.
Wow, ours are barely showing the tips of their leaves, here...there was still snow on them yesterday...though a lot has melted at the 50F temps we had today.
ReplyDeleteSpring...yup, its promenading closer and closer!
We can see the buds. Our plants here are drying up as we are experiencing heat wave! Purrs and hugs from all of us.

Hooray for blooming season, we're sure ready!
ReplyDeleteDaffodils are one of my very favorite flowers. Mine have started popping up too! Spring is about to spring!
ReplyDeletepercy; I totally agree as pre-promenade is too a word; it's the affair that's held before the school prom; and everyone drinks orange ade, lemon ade, lime ade....I know...I was at one
ReplyDeletehugs from dai$y ♥♥♥ =^..*=
You guys are funny! I'm glad the daffodils weren't ruined by the fence monster. *ear licks* Noodle
ReplyDeleteWe hope the daffodils are in bloom soon!

ReplyDeleteDaffodils are always a great sign of Spring!
ReplyDeleteThe daffs look nice. We had such a mild winter that ours came early and are almost finished now.
