Ringing in Spring

I have always enjoyed these delicate blooms, like white mini-church-bells decorating a garden at ankle level.

Watched a goldfinch out past the rhubarb for a while this morning. Somehow it managed to perch on (clutch?) a tall grass stem that waved in the breeze. I can’t remember the last time I saw one!

    White coral bells
    upon a slender stalk,
    Lilies of the garden
    line my garden walk.

    Oh, don’t you wish
    that you could hear them ring.
    That will only happen
    when the fairies sing.

    I don’t remember when I learned this, maybe in Brownies? I think we sang it as a round.

    My favorite flower, because it signaled my birthday! The May flower, Lily of the Valley. Love the poem from Pooh!

    Loved the poem, Pooh. Plants are such situational things. We love them when they’re growing here, but not there. Except for PI, right KW?
