Since moving to a new home we've found an abundance of daffodils surrounding the east side of the house. I knew they wouldn't last long, so as a way to celebrate the first day of spring, River and I decided we'd visit some of the elderly ladies in our neighborhood and drop off a little sunshine and flowers. It was a great success, and the flowers were only a bonus to River's sweetness.
While dropping off the daffodils there was one older woman who came up to my car. She thought I was her daughter from Idaho because of my license plates. I felt a little bad because she was so excited. I asked if she'd like some flowers (I had one bouquet left) and she was so flattered about it. Me and Riv are going to drop by another time soon. Another woman called me later and told me I must have known she needed something that day. Her daughter went to the hospital that day and she wasn't feeling the best because of it.
Another sister left me the most thoughtful thank you card and plate of yummy cookies. She had company over that night and was so appreciative of the flowers. I hope me and Riv can do this every year. It made my day more than anything.
I feel so much love and respect for women of all ages, but find I am drawn to these older women's strength, experiences and wisdom. I like to meet these amazing women because I know they have so much to offer. We are more alike than we think. I am so grateful for each friendship I have with all of you amazing women.

Wow..that's a lot of flowers--and a lot of love--by two pretty girls. :)
You are such an example to me. Beauties!
So awesome! The flowers and the girls are beautiful. We miss your ray of sunshine her in missoula!
