Tulips and treasures

For just a few weeks every year, my eldest picks every flower she can find and brings it to me.  Daffodils. Wild violets. Tulips.  At first I wasn't sure I wanted our yards stripped bare, but then I realized she was bringing me gifts for the sheer joy of it.  She was, quite literally, spreading joy. 
Don't be afraid to cut your flowers.  I don't get to cherish them if they aren't brought in, and you certainly will enjoy them more in a vase on your table than  the passersby will.
