My grandson Blair has written a little poem which I woud like to share with you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

D<\/strong>ancing daffodils,
\nA<\/strong>fter the rain,
\nF<\/strong>lowers are growing,
\nF<\/strong>armer throw the seeds,
\nO<\/strong>h dear,
\nD<\/strong>on’t trample some flowers,
\nI<\/strong> have an idea,
\nL<\/strong>ove YOU.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Blair,<\/a>
Blair, the poet says Hi in a break from throwing stones into the sea at Whinnyfold<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That was enough to send me out to the garden with a water spray and my camera.\u00a0\u00a0 I had not been so close up and person with flowers since I photographed the snowdrops!<\/p>\n

The colour is wonderful and the daffodils are everywhere.\u00a0\u00a0 Here are just a few of the\u00a0 pictures of daffodils in Cruden Country which I took one April morning.<\/p>\n

And by the way, there is another daffodil poem by that other poet, but I like Blair’s one better.\u00a0\u00a0 But perhaps I am prejeudiced?<\/p>\n

I wandered lonely as a cloud
\nThat floats on high o’er vales and hills,
\nWhen all at once I saw a crowd,
\nA host, of golden daffodils;
\nBeside the lake, beneath the trees,
\nFluttering and dancing in the breeze.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
