The Thirteenth Day of Lent

To the City of Louisville,

Thank you so much for the random planting of daffodil bulbs you have completed over the years. Right when I think that I'm just going to give in to the depression of a dark and dreary winter, I'm driving down the road and see a patch of daffodils, always in the most random and urban places.

I appreciate a government who not only provides libraries, police and fire protection, but considers the beautification of our city to also be of importance. Maybe, it's a cheaper way to attend to the city's collective mental health.

Truth be told, I've never used the police or had to contact the fire department. In fact, since I got Grace - the best book-chewing dog ever - I rarely even go to the library. The daffodils, though, they inspire me and remind me that Spring will certainly come. I wonder if this is what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they declared their independence from England.

God Bless America!
