The smart guys in the white lab coats call it an Eranthis Hyemalis. But in today’s podcast, I just call it Barbara’s February Flower because Barbara is my Lady’s name. Barbara’s February Flower is a tiny bright yellow flower…about the size of a dandelion. And I found it growing next to our driveway yesterday. In order for you to understand why I think she’ll find a way to keep it, you need to know that I’m recording this podcast near the end of February…in Pennsylvania. As in it’s so cold you could freeze an egg on the sidewalk. And please…no more snow. You say, “Hello” but nobody hears you because the words freeze and fall down on the sidewalk. Picture one tiny bright yellow flower …bravely sticking its head up and smiling…living out loud, all alone in about an acre and a quarter of dead brown grass and mud…on a frozen hillside, on a February afternoon in Pennsylvania.
