Spring

For years, I have gazed with admiration at all the daffodils in the spring around here. Such happy, bright colors! Finally, I remembered at the right time, and last fall, I planted about 40 bulbs in my front yard. I smiled as I imagined the bright yellows in the spring, when everything else is still brown around here.

Only a week or two ago, the first ones opened. Forty was not enough! I loved them!

But alas, winter had to have one last stand here, and it is too cold and can't seem to warm up. I hope they don't all die!
