Yellow is such a cheerful colour, but there's not a lot about at this time of year. I haven't been to a garden centre recently so I don't know if they are selling pots ready-planted with tete-a-tete daffodils yet.
Our neighbour opposite has a great bank of yellow winter flowering jasmine below her window at the front.

It's one of the things I look for, a signpost through the seasons, along with the shy pale blossoms on the ancient cherry tree, which is also outside her house.
The flowers are a reminder that the seasons turn, that it won't be cold and dark and grey forever.
Poem
I met this poem for first time in a rather anateurish anthology which had been produced specifically for the hospital waiting rooms. I have been so delighted every time I've come across it since. This comes from my Poems On The Underground book.
Take heart!
Music
Anothe Scuabin prelude, Op 11 no 11 in B major. I love these little miniatures. They are illustrations in a story book, or like opening a window onto a scene.

ReplyDeleteI still have a yellow rose flowering in the garden!
Kirstenm says; I just caught the 'delete' command instead of 'publish' , and unfortunately it is instantaneous without the option to 'undo'. So I've copied and pasted your comment instead - sorry.
But a yellow rose still flowering! Enjoy it while you can, what a sunny sight!
I'm having a rather low day so it was nice to have the little poem and the encouraging "take heart".
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you are feeling a bit low, and I'm glad this is a timely poem for you. Hope you're back on form soon 🌈
