the wildflowers that grow in my yard, I am not sure what the purple flowers are, maybe wild flax. They smell good and look fine in a cut crystal vase. The other flowers are daisies in test tube vases on my buffet. Wildflowers are so cheerful. I would like to share a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. I, unlike the author, could not resist picking the flowers.
Afternoon On A Hill
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.
And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!
