Paperwhite Narcissus by Cathy Ulrich
Narcissus?
Generous fragrance
Soft countenance
Endearing temperament
Where did such an epithet
Arise for such a magnanimous
Angiosperm?

Mmm, that’s my very favorite flower. I’m pretty sure Heaven must smell like that.
I think so, too, Jennifer! Happy New Year!
Paperwhites are my favorite!
Me too, Robin. I love the fragrance they share inside the house!
This lovely image offsets the depression I’m still suffering over my mother tossing out my Willie Mays autograph forty years ago.
I’m so glad it helped, V. Hope you’re settling back into life in the Big Apple. Any plans for New Year’s Eve?
Yes, I’m planning not to drink and ride the subway.
Sounds like an extremely prudent plan.
I’m still planning to drink.
That’s okay, just sans Subway sounds like a better idea.
Oh, you’ve heard about the nutcases that recently pushed people into the tracks? The subway is still pretty much the safest way to get around.
No, I haven’t. Oh my God, how horrible! Probably best to stay away on nights where people could get more crazy. Glad you’re staying safe, V.
On the lines I ride people primarily curse and grumble.
Cursing and grumbling is one thing…murder is something entirely different.
Thus far, on my train everyone’s been pretty civilized. Check out something on a lighter NYC note that you might even enjoy knowing about:

Love these, V!
Absolutely beautiful, I can almost smell them.
Happy New Year to you and Peter!
Love you so much! XOXO
Than you, Crystal. They are quite fragrant – and so easy to grow. Happy New Year to you and Dionne. Love you, Cathy
Beautiful, Cathy!
Thanks, Amy! I’m having fun with my new camera.
Oh, how exciting for you!
I know! It’s an awesome camera – now to learn how to get the most out of it!
So lovely! Happy New Year to you. I’m looking forward to your postings in 2013.
Thank you! Your kind words mean a lot. I so enjoy your posts, Seedbud. You’ve truly been an inspiration to me.
Possibly because they are beautiful. Mirrors were not as common as now, let alone apps to show you yourself on your phone. He saw himself in the water and fell in love- because what he saw was beautiful.
Happy new year. Mine comes in under two hours.
Yes, they are beautiful! Happy New Year, Clare!
Beautiful image, Cathy but you always deliver that way my friend. Your images and words always evoke a such a wonderful serenity — thank you and Happy New Year!
Cathy,
Merry 2013! Looking forward to being here on a weekly basis. I’ll bring warm clothes and my favourite sparkling water.
Love,
Le Clown
Le Clown,
Awesome! But you don’t need to bring your sparkling water – we have plenty…Make it ourselves with a Soda Stream and our wonderful Rocky Mountain Water! Merry 2013 to you and family, Le Clown. Can’t wait to see what you bring to the blogosphere this year!
Love,
Cathy
