The first of the year's driveway daffodils bloomed last weekend, rapidly followed by many runner-up clumps, and by now they line the way in full bloom. We have idly wondered if the display momentarily brightened the day for some commuters as well as cheering ourselves and visitors to the house. Today we found proof that it does in a hand-written note in our mailbox:

I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy seeing the daffodils in your driveway as I pass by. This is my 4th spring at my job, and from the first I wanted to let you know how much I like seeing them, especially rejoicing near the end of their term, when I can see them in the morning also. 2 seconds a day. They last a short time. But they look good!

I'm not going to leave my name because I am a 50 year old man leaving a note about flowers.

If I ever leave another correspondence, I will certainly identify myself.

I don't mean to be intrusive but 350 days of the year I drive by and imagine how the drive looks and now I see it!

Thank you

This note delighted us thoroughly. We may put up a sign saying "You're welcome!" and confuse the other commuters.
