daffodil day
Last Friday was Daffodil Day here in Australia and of course "my" store got right into the spirit of things, with a sausage sizzle to raise funds, a raffle, yellow daffodil stickers on the window and all of us in bright yellow t-shirts. The supervisors had yellow caps and the bakery boys got yellow jackets to wear instead of the regular white ones, the service deli and fresh produce folk had bright yellow aprons. Things were so bright we almost needed shades! My friend J has collected multiple daffodil day badges over the years and last Friday she wore every one of them. She even had a couple of them as earrings! I wish I'd thought of that. As it is, I had a couple of badges on my cardigan, but with J shining like a star, I felt I hadn't done enough. Even working on my day off didn't seem like enough. So I took one of the bright yellow paper napkins off the lunch table and fashioned a paper daffodil to clip into my hair. It didn't look much...
