Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My friend and I went to a Garden about an hour away, and wandered around looking at pots of daffodils, hyacinth, and blossoming trees and tulips popping up.  Usually, there is a field of daffodils behind the house, but we were too early this year.  We've had a coldish winter, not much rain, none the last month and it's inhibiting the daffodils.  But there were thousands in pots and crowding in the meadows where the fruit trees are.  Only the plum and nectarine trees were in blossom; the cherry and apple trees are still in buds.  We'll have to come back to see the tulips, as they were just coming out, and to see that huge field of yellow.  We also took a woodland path back to barns and a nature center, and saw huge tree limbs down at various places from the recent windstorms.  We then had lunch at the cafe and returned to the little shop and I bought two daffodil pots and three pansy pots.  Pansies used to be my favorite flower as a child and now daffodils are.  I came home chipper and infused with the beauty of the garden.
