The author visits a friend to see her daffodil garden before the flowers are over for the season. Despite cold and rainy weather, they make the drive and are awestruck by the sight of 50,000 daffodil bulbs planted in swirling patterns across five acres by a single woman over nearly 50 years, one bulb at a time. The garden teaches that small daily efforts accumulated over time can lead to magnificent accomplishments. The author is inspired to make more of the time they have and start working to achieve their visions one step at a time, without waiting for some future time.
