Then, we pluck a few flowers from our garden, stuff them into our whimsical baskets, sneak up to our neighbor&#8217;s or friend&#8217;s house, hang our special surprise, ring the doorbell and run away to peek around the corner to see a smile as our special person smiles in delight and we feel happy all day long.
