Day 83 - Easter flowers


It's only fitting that the daffodils should be blooming on Easter Sunday...


The Daffodils
Aileen Fisher


The daffodils, the daffodils.

They plan it all ahead:
They bottle yellow sunshine up
To take along to bed.

They know that they will sleep for months
Till cold and snow are gone,
And so they bottle sunshine up
Before they start to yawn.

And then when Spring is not-quite warm,
And days are not quite mellow,
They poke up little goblets full
Of yellow, yellow, yellow.

Happy Easter!

Day 56 - Time difference

Since we're supposed to get more icy cold this week, Mother Nature may have different ideas, but clearly, the daffodils think it's time for Spring to make an appearance... now. I agree, so I'm rooting for the daffodils!

Day #86 - A refreshing burst of yellow...

These pretty little gals are making their appearance in our yard now.

(Psssst... over here... yes, I'm feeling better but I'm not saying it too loud... the angry Gods, you know?) ;-)
