The daffodils are blooming!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

It’s been a cold winter here in northern Mississippi. Usually we have a couple of cold spells where it gets cold for a few days, and then it warms back up. This year it got cold (20s) before Christmas, and it’s stayed cold (30s). I noticed in mid-January that the daffodil shoots were up – every year I’m surprised at how early they come up, but this year was the earliest I remember, and it made no sense at all.

Two weeks ago the crocuses, hyacinths and quince bloomed. WTF? It’s cold! It may very well freeze again.

This morning I saw the first daffodil bloom, and a lot of yellow buds are ready to unfurl.

Either spring is here or the spring flowers have lost their minds.

Yay! Daffodils!

I woke up sunday morning to bird song, first time I recalled hearing a bird sing since before winter. It was cool.

I have decided to leave you forever
I have decided to start things from here

And the daffodils look lovely today

Denver, CO: My tulips, Irises, Daffodils & Crocussessess are all sprouting already. Don’t the silly things know March & April are the snow months around here?

That’s beautiful, Inigo Montoya. Did you write it?

Also, "crocussessess "! That’s like banana and queue – I know how to spell them, I just don’t always know when to stop.

You kidding? For spite & irony like that you gotta import it from The Emerald Isle.

My peeps are from Byhalia. Where is your house parked? :smiley:

What would spring be like withoutThe Imbeciles.

Close enough that I often have a hard time getting the jingle for Byhalia Tire and Battery (honk honk) out of my head.

I thought these things came up based on light, not heat.

There’s a chruch near my house that has a zillion very early crocuses on it’s front lawn. I drive by it frequently at this time of year for a lift of the spirits.
