Bring me snowdrops always,
These are simple,
Little bells of sunshine,
Tiny stem,
Petals white,
Purest little flower,
Eight years growing,
She’s my valentine.
For my little Anna, sunshine every morning.

Awesome timing. Our snowdrops are just looking great now. Love your work, so metaphorical of nature.

Thank you, Lita. They are beautiful little flowers. Fewer in the garden now that my youngest’s been at them. 😉

Country hazards. We get a fair few foxes round these parts too. Scare the living daylights out of you at night when they start to go at it. Such a freakish noise they make. Then again, so do kids. And they nab the flowers before the foxes can. I’ll have to explain to Anna not to pick them the night before she wants to give them.

Agreed – foxes are so fast and also quite hefty looking. I’m sure they are much better fed than in days gone by!! Picking flowers as a child is pure joy, hats off to Anna! 😉 but yeah does disturb the gardens symmetry lol!!

Kids can’t help themselves it seems. My kitchen windowsill has had all sorts of weird collections on it over the years. Huntergatherers!

There is a beautiful simplicity to this poem ahich is really touching. My e-mail brought up the title ‘Bring Me S’, so I nearly broke into Morecambe and wise! Lovely writing, Anne-Marie.

I have more than 6 feet of “snowdrops” outside my windows – another 18 inches coming tonight – will happily spare some

Good grief, poor you, Paul. No, we’re definitely heading into Spring. And if Anna had brought me a handful of those sorts of snowdrops there would have been no poem for her. She’d be gutted. And so would I. Hope it clears for you before too long.

Thanks, Beth. I owed her after she gave me some of her favourite things this morning, in a giftbag, with a handful of snowdrops. I’ll sneak them back to her room later but I’ll hold onto the snowdrops and her pleasure at the giving and having a poem posted for her. 🙂
