I picked the flower puzzle to do (see quandary here)
because there's just something about flowers
in winter that can't be beat!!

even the pieces look like a handful of petals tossed on a garden path!
So, let's celebrate the last day of February with winter flowers
even if they are painted on cardboard💖😊

They kindle wild dream-pleasure for gardens not planted yet
They gleam with priceless treasure of fond memories to be
They rouse a youthful yearning in the appetites they whet
For perfumed pinks and purples heady with sweet nectar-tea
And like children with rosy faces, kissed by brisk wind-chill
They bloom a little rosier on winter’s windowsill
They delight hearts with visions of a sunny summer’s day
Where butterflies and laughter flit and flirt with honey bee
They make indoors feel friendlier while winter whiles away
As we stroll perfect gardens in a plot of fantasy
A welcome splash of color on a dolor afternoon
They garnish kitchen tables with a glint of May or June
They cheer us with old fashioned charm and make us humbly glad
To be alive where flowers wait to burst the bud with bloom
As blush and gold menageries drive poets gently mad
With so much beauty to behold from Mother Nature’s loom
Primed with a plethora of plumes no tombs can keep at bay
Unfolding outdoor living rooms still snuggly tucked away

Speaking of outdoor living rooms
I would love to try this come spring!
