Daisy times


I locked John in the basement yesterday afternoon :-) and invited some special barn friends over to hang out in the garden. It was a perfect warm day, instantly making up for so many dreary ones this summer. Everyone brought gourmet snacks-- with wine, lemonade who could ask for anything more? They're a camera-shy bunch, but I'm sure you get the picture.

To the Daisy
William Wordsworth

Child of the Year! that round dost run
Thy pleasant course,--when day's begun
As ready to salute the sun
As lark or leveret*
Thy long-lost praise thou shalt regain;
Nor be less dear to future men
Than in old time;
Thou not in vain
Art Nature's favourite.

*a type of rabbit
