Daffodil Braids

What? You don't braid them? Okay, okay, I know I am completely out of my mind and I don't really braid ALL of them. But I can't stand the leaves flopping all over the place for months until they die back.

Daffodils

It has been unusually hot on the mountain for the past week or so and the early daffodils have burst forth in all their golden glory two weeks ahead of schedule. I adore them and have thousands planted. Are things blooming at your house?

A splash of color in winter

It is that time of year when the doldrums have set in and the tulips are at the grocery stores. It snows every night and the world has been white for weeks. But having a colorful reminder in the house that yes, winter will end in a few weeks (better than thinking it will take months), helps me get through after I come in from shoveling yet again. Have you started buying spring flowers yet?
