chasing the checkerboard rainbow
A single fritillaria, the survivor of a too harsh winter, a dog who makes his own path, a spot just outside the back door that my boys tread upon too often.
Another gift from Mother Nature, another reminder that I need to plant more bulbs, another short-lived sculpture of a bloom.
I heard someone on another blog call this flower a frog-cup, and I just love that.
I feel my body coming alive, right alongside my garden.
I want to run.
But also, I want to shrink myself down and sit beneath this flower, stare up at the sun, daydream, a little.
I want to live outside.
I want to inhale the sky.
I’m starting to fall in love with May, a little.
She brought me this flower.
