sickeningly sweet

So, every year there is the visit to the St Louis Abbey. And every year, the daffodils spread just a bit further, their yellow claws grabbing the surrounding hills. Four years ago there was one hill and one valley which made you go "wow, that's a lot of flowers". Now there are three, or four, or... actually, no one knows where it ends anymore. Soon, daffodils will appear on highways, in swamps, in the cat's water bowl, in your shoes laid out at night as you sleep. At first it will seem cute, but then you realise they are everywhere, that their invasion is complete and you never saw it happening. That is when you will cry.

This is a bit of an unusual post, but then this is quite an unusual building. I have been subscribed to archidose for as long as I remember and sometimes their weekly building is something truly unexpected, like this hotel in a village close to Naples. The photos of the project include an animated gif that shows the bed in action... great stuff.
