Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psalm 27 : 14 NKJV
Flowers bought by my husband and son.
An Easter bunch.
Fourteen daffidols and a number of tulips.
A set of seven daffodils on each side of the central tulips.
Properly closed
“Remaining tight in the bud.”
I wonder what day of Easter they will “take to blossom?”
Remaining tight in the bud means staying where you are, keeping quiet, doing nothing, not changing.
Take to blossom means the opposite – moving on, speaking out, doing a dead, or changing.
Here are a couple of “tight” jokes.
Why do accordions make great travel companions?”
They are always ready to squeeze into tight spaces.
What did the 0 say to the 8?
Why is your belt so tight?
There are no more daffidols under the apple tree, and the ones remaining in other parts of the garden are showing signs of snail bites and are ready to seed. I need to go out and dead head between the showers of rain.
The tulips give colour to the garden now. These three are a week old already.
Then, more seriously, here are some quotes from a French- American diarist and essayist, Anais Nin.
Don’t let one cloud obliterate the whole sky.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
