daffodils



Bright yellow daffodils, bought at the local grocery...

Daffodils remind me of the trip we took to England last March, where they were in bloom throughout coutryside church yards. I will always now associate daffodils with English springtime and that worship service in Exeter Cathedral where freshly cut stems were distributed in celebration of motherhood. But lodged deeper in my past, it recalls a brand of margarine with a TV ad we grew up with in Australia, and whose catchy tune has stubbornly remained in my brain for around 30 years. Drawing these flowers brings me back to some childhood moments as I search for that commercial on Youtube... !
