Tell me, sunny goldenrod,
Growing everywhere,
Did fairies come from fairyland
And make the dress you wear?
Did you get from mines of gold
Your bright and shining hue?
Or did the baby stars some night
Fall down and cover you?
Or did the angels wave their wings
And drop their glitter down
Upon you, laughing goldenrod,
Your nodding head to crown?
Or are you clad in sunshine
Caught from summer's brightest day,
To give again in happy smiles
To all who pass your way?
I love you, laughing goldenrod,
And I will try, like you,
To fill each day with deeds of cheer;
Be loving, kind, and true.

Sweet little poem, isn't it? I love the imagery it evokes and the message it sends - whimsical, carefree, and filled with cheer - and I'm hoping you'll think my choices for today's feature bring about some of those same thoughts and sentiments to mind!

Lastly, because goldenrod has beautiful golden flowers, I wanted to find something appropriately floral that also had beautiful golden flowers. I chose this Sunflower Wreath from LaurelsbyLaurie 'cuz it's just so darned pretty and because my friend Laurie is just such a sweetheart! (And I happen to love sunflowers!) Greet your guests with this cheery wreath in your entryway, or use it to add a touch of homespun warmth and beauty to any room in your home!
There you have it - my tribute to glorious goldenrod in all its grandeur! I hope you enjoyed - and I hope you'll stop back by to see tomorrow's feature when I'll spotlight some amazing sea green beauties!

Hi Karen: Thank YOU so much for featuring my sunflower wreath. You have the most wonderful blog and you are an amazing writer. If you check out my shop, you'll see the link to my Treasuries and I just made a Treasury using SEAFOAM green and DESERT PEACH. I thought of you in the desert southwest!!
