Gene Bauer planted a garden of daffodils on a mountainside. Each spring that mountainside is awash in yellow. Visitors come to marvel at the beauty. And they come with questions. So Mrs. Bauer posted a fact sheet about her monumental daffodil extravaganza.
The fact sheet says:
* More than 1 million bulbs have been planted.
* The planting has been done over 46 years.
* Some bulbs that were planted in 1958 are still blooming.
* Gene Bauer selected and planted every bulb you see.
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. Mrs. Bauer's daffodils are a picture of how to build a legacy. Do a thing well. Stay faithful, plant carefully, persevere . . . and transform your surroundings in the high calling of our daily work.
