Simple Things

Often times in life it's the simplest things that mean so much and today when I arrived home from church there was a sweet little bunch of bright yellow daffodils waiting to greet me.

This is the second year in a row I have had this lovely surprise and it's all thanks to one of our neighbours.  He attends the Vineyard church and has taken to grabbing me a posy of daffodils which he kindly deposits at my doorstep - we're usually out at our own church, outside of Bury so I imagine he gets home long before we do but this one simple act of kindness means so much.  He clearly waits to see our car in the drive because he makes a point of coming over for a quick chat and just to make sure I got the posy okay.

I didn't have a tiny vase to put them in so I grabbed for one of the sugar shakers on the shelf in the kitchen.  I collect pretty things that are glassy or shiny, unusual or retro.

 

Each posy of daffs is tagged with a simple message plus details of the Vineyard church on the reverse.  I thought it was kinda nice that a hummingbird is featured on the tag - they were a favourite of moms.

 

And surprise, surprise, hubby even managed to get me a card and M & S gift card although he let me go along to church thinking he hadn't done anything!  I have a collection of those too, just waiting until I see something I just have to have LOL!

 

Here's hoping Mother's Day was good for all the mums out there.

 

Big HUGS
