As I stepped outside this morning to blow my good-bye kiss to Kyle as he left for work, I had this little floral treat. This is the little plant I took a photo of when it first began to show spring growth, and now it has bloomed. And once again, I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit I have no idea what it is. It looks like a daffodil, but I’m pretty sure it’s not. The neighbourhood daffodils have come and gone. And I don’t think I’ve ever planted any daffodils—and I don’t think this is a bulb. But, I’m too far removed from my gardening research right now to remember more about it.
Mostly, I loved the way the morning sunshine had this little glimpse of spring in a “spotlight” of happy light. It makes me smile.
A good day for me, today! I stayed up all night–not even feeling the least little bit tired until I heard the birds begin to sing and realized the sky was starting to be light! I got Bill’s order ready for his fitting tonight (which went perfectly!) and I built Kyle’s new parade banner for East Wind Games. Then today, I was able to work on stomacher sets and alterations with no stress, no rush. I enjoyed a couple of great phone calls (Lisa and Mama and Anna and Kat) and got some business calls made as well. It was a day of feeling productive and pretty much worry-free! My first day like that since January!
So, now that it’s eleven o’clock and I’ve had a grand total of one hour and twenty minutes sleep in the last two days, I’m calling it a day.
