Spring is about a month away, give or take a few days. And I’m ready for spring, so a post about spring daffodils seemed appropriate. I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, a daffodils poem by William Wordsworth, inspired today’s post and the lovely FREE daffodils printable I have for you.
Personally, I think daffodils are such sweet and happy-looking flowers with their little trumpets. They look ready to make a joyful song as spring makes its appearance.
When I see them start to pop up on the roadside or around a mailbox, my heart is truly happy. They’re one of many beautiful signs of spring.
My creative juices have shifted to all things spring — so it’s safe to say that I’ll be sharing another printable or two in the next couple of weeks. If I do any spring decorating, I’ll share that as well.
Nevertheless, who else is ready for spring? 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️ I’m ready for spring temps, flowers, holidays, and more.
Ahem… Mother Nature, if you can hear us, we’re ready for spring to arrive a little earlier than scheduled this year. Mmmkay? 😂
It may be out of our control, but we can remain hopeful, right? This week we had sixty-degree weather one day, and it was glorious.
What is your favorite thing about spring? For me, it’s probably the flowers and Easter. Hence, my printable with a daffodils poem.
Did you know that the daffodil symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings? I love that as we transition from one season into another, these flowers begin to bloom and announce the end of the cold, dreary season and the beginning of a new one — spring.
Daffodils also symbolize creativity, energy, resilience, forgiveness, and vitality.

Since the printable includes a short snippet from a William Wordsworth poem, I thought you might enjoy reading the poem in its entirety.
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
by William Wordsworth
Daffodils Printable
The snippet I used from the poem for the printable is the last two lines.
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Another thing I wanted to mention was that these watercolor daffodils and Adorn Story Serif font were used to create this printable.

I also think Daffodils are the happiest of all flowers as they announce the coming of spring. On his daily walk with our dogs my husband brings me a little boutique of wild Daffodils that grow along our road in Feb.So sweet after 55 yrs of marriage!! I am a lucky gal.
Happy Spring.
