In front of our house, the daffodils are starting to pop up from the cold, winter ground. It won’t be long now!
This afternoon I plan to take a moment to lay on a couch and let the daffodils of St. Machar’s “flash upon my inward eye”.
It’s the best way to overcome February pensiveness!

* The current structure of St. Machar’s dates back to the 1300s, but Machar himself began worship services on this site in 580. A bit of gruesome historical trivia: When William Wallace was drawn and quartered in 1305, one of his left quarters was sent to Aberdeen and was encased in the walls of St. Machar’s.
