There has been no snow for the snowdrops to peek through this year so she saw them right off.  She came in and asked if she could pick just a few of the green things with the white things on the top for me. I started to explain that wildflowers like these don't really last long once you cut them.  She was still looking expectantly so I just stopped all that and said yes.  

Yes.

I would love that.  

How about just a couple today and then we will enjoy the rest when we play outside?  She was off in a flash and returned with her 'just a few' for me. They lasted about as long as this moment, which is a blink and forever all at once.
