Daffodil Time!














This is a really fun time of year to be on the land. " Daffodil time"!. Every year the bulbs that we planted when we first bought the land, get thicker and thicker. The biggest bed of them is at the back corner of the barn. We also have them all across from the TT and at one end. The crocus and iris were just starting to bloom the week we were up there. The most amazing part of daffodils to us, is when you are driving on highway 231, there are daffodils all along the sides of the road and in the median. A long, long time ago probably before the road was there, there used to be houses there and the daffodils are from them moving the dirt to build the road. We always stop and pick some to bring home to Shell, so she can enjoy them too. The whole week we were on the land, we had daffodils in the TT, on the porch, in the yard and even in the explorer's built in bud vase. Even though it's still cold , you can always count on the pretty "buttercups" ( as the locals call them) blooming the last week of Feb.

I think I posted a comment; had just forgotten my password. I might start a blog on here myself.
