I was sitting in the kitchen yesterday looking out the window and feeling morose. It was snowing — again. We’ve just spent a cold, miserable, icy week shivering without heat here in Louisville, Kentucky, the leading front of the next great Ice Age. We finally got our power back on. There was even talk of the schools reopening tomorrow — a celebratory event after spending a week huddled around an electric heater with a teenager stripped of her electronics — and it was snowing again. There just didn’t seem to be an end to the misery. Then the doorbell rang. Standing on the doorstep holding a paper-swathed package was a delivery man from 1-800-Flowers.
As I peeled away the paper, a cheery bouquet of sunny yellow lilies, bright pink daisies, and fresh orange roses was revealed. My spirits soared! Such a wonderfully colorful and fragrant reminder that the warm days of spring truly were around the corner. There was a card from my thoughtful daughters: ”Ice and snow melt — eventually. Think spring!”
