Spring. Finally.

Every spring brings the season's "firsts." The first robin. The first lawnmower. The first pair of cargo shorts. But few firsts bring joy like a daffodil's sunshine. So moved was poet William Wordsworth at a meadow of flowers "dancing in the breeze," that later, in solitude, he marveled at the memory. "And then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils."
