These flowers seem quite content in numbers. One flower here and there may not look much. But all together and at the start of March, these flowers really stand out.

Sign on a fence out in the countryside: If you cross this field you had better do it in 9.8 seconds. The bull can do it in 10 seconds.
NO TRESPASSING.

Sometimes it’s good to have a rule spelt out clearly! You would certainly have to think twice about entering that field. The same goes with many rules and regulations that cover different aspects of life.
We grumble and complain about an unfair rule and request. But often there is a reason behind every rule and regulation that we often don’t think about. There may not be a bull in every field but there are often dangers, pitfalls and obstacles that need to be avoided. We pray to God today asking for help and guidance. We pray also for courage to make the right decision even when it seems obvious and straightforward.
