Spring is Here with All My Flower Favorites

Dandelions and Violets

Dandelions and violets, two of my favorite flowers, are now blooming in abundance. I took this picture in Morningside Park.

I find in almost everything, I prefer what grows easiest and in abundance.

My favorite fish ... guppy... not too scary.
My favorite cat ... grey tabby.
My favorite dog ... collie. (they were much more common in my childhood)
My favorite bird ... sparrow.

Thinking of or seeing these gives me comfort. Maybe because they seem hardy and enduring. They are the characters of a world I prefer. I know it's a fantasy to think there's a world where life is safe, but that's why I say fantasy.
