" at my feet the white-petaled daisies displaythe small suns of their center-piece,
their---if you don't mind my saying so---
their hearts."
i want to be like a daisy.
let's all be daisies and display our hearts.

from Daisies,
a poem by Mary Oliver
i hope you all have a wonderful sunday and the sun comes out (or goes away) and daisies start popping up soon near you . love, lori
:)
ReplyDeleteWhen could you plant the ones I sent you????
Soon you can talk to their little hearts and think of me,and I will be thinking of you! xx♥
I love the perfect simplicity of daisies! Grey and damp here today - and I'm really not ready for it to start being autumn yet! xx<3
ReplyDeleteAll our daisies - which we call Gänseblümchen, "little gooseflowers" - are still sleeping under the cold shadowy snow, and not even the ever warmer rays of the sun can kiss them awake. But it is lovely to see one and dream of their appearance again... one day. If ever this snow all melts.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the hope you spread, Lori!
Do you think the postal services will deliver a packet of daisy seeds if I post them to you from here??
ReplyDeleteWe have some gorgeous daisies and some gorgeous people with gorgeous hearts too
You have an especially gorgeous heart

we are buried in 30 inches of snow here in Maryland :)
ReplyDeleteBut when I was doing my pre-storm essential shopping, I bought some hyacinths and daffodils in small pots - and that will help me live through this storm :)
Like Pink Dogwood, we're buried in snow...lol.... but the sun is out..Yay! No daisies for awhile because it's 18 here this morning!!
ReplyDeletehave a great day Lori!! Loved your post!!

ah, lori, no daisies for me yet, but there are tulips on the table and at least i can dream of warmer weather.
ReplyDeletemary oliver--who could not love her?--also wondered if the root is the flower of the otherworld. i;m not quoting her correctly but i've always thought that is a fascinating thing to think about.
i'm glad you are having a fine weekend. yay! ♥
