Did you ever watch a TV show or movie when a character from another show makes an appearance? Well, yesterday was GFTASD, a holiday started on "The Kindness of Strangers” blog popping up right here in the ABC's of Kindness. For those of you who don't know, Give Flowers To a Stranger Day happens on the 27th of every month and yesterday was the one year anniversary of the first ever celebration. For more in depth history of this very special holiday, take a look at "It's That Time Again...Flower's for a Stranger."
The choice was obviously daffodils or daisies, as delphiniums were quickly ruled out. Which meant either picking the daffodils from my yard since they are right in season, or buying daisies from the store. I like the idea of giving fresh picked flowers. However, I'm just not that adept at putting together a bouquet that looks as nice as an arrangement from a store. Floral arranging is not really in my skill set. But I thought that if I were ever going to learn, daffodils were the right starter flowers, because is close to impossible for a bunch to look bad. So daffodils it was.
With a big yellow bunch in hand, I marched into the first convenience store I passed on my way to work and handed them to the cashier with the announcement that "it's Give Flowers to a Stranger Day!" She said a very surprised thank you and I turned and walked out before she could ask any questions.
I haven't done the math, but I sure hope that future GFTAS days don't fall on Q or X weeks.

Spring is in the air and what a wonderful surprise to all that were handed a beautiful reminder. The Waggoners in ATX
