Happy Spring!

The calendar indicates that finally here in the good ol' USA, it's Spring. The gardens are also beginning to indicate that it is Spring, too. TG!

The daffodils are in bloom, and look great. We have over 10,000 daffodil bulbs that bloom from now until mid-April. After the horrible events of September 11, 2001, my neighbors and I all got together and planted these bulbs along the ridge behind our houses. The bulbs have matured and naturalized. We enjoy a wonderful profusion of color -- yellow, white, orange, multi-colored -- every day for about a month.

Great thing about daffodils, too, is that the pesky deer leave them alone.

Happy astronomical first-full-day-of-Spring, everyone!
