Soul food

If of thy mortal good thou art bereft
And of thy slender store two loaves
alone to thee are left,
Sell one, and with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul
Saadi

    A Happy New Year to you. Thanks for the gorgeous hyacinths - I think I can smell them. And as for the quilting - marvelous!

  2. I adore hyacinths. I've now made a note to track some down in a garden centre ...

  3. The scent of the hyacinths fills the house. It is more powerful than all the spicy Christmas pot pourri.
