Come on Spring

IMG_4428Oh yes! Come on spring. This mornings walk was sans gloves, hat and multiple layers. Warm sun on my face and the discovery of the daffodils arriving! Andrew, in his toddler years, and I planted daffodils randomly across the hillside when we first started working on house and land 11 years ago. Being the first to find the daffodils coming up was a spring ritual when he was younger. We planted early and late blooming varieties, extending the daily hunt. Finding this bit of green life amidst the melting snow elicits warm memories of the past, happiness today, and excitement for what these daffodils signify – spring IS coming. Oh yes!
