Oh, it is glorious. Bright, cheerful. Yellow! Yes, and smells great. (Ok, the aroma is quite loud at times) My Daffodils are blooming! And they are really putting on a show this year. I have about a half acre, mostly wild old school daffs that were here when we bought the place. I spent many months digging up huge mounds of bulbs and separating and replanting. I bought bulbs of other varieties and added some every year. So it’s big, bold and beautiful. And I can’t quit sneezing! Of course. ---

I envy you. We have 3 feet of snow over our daffodils and other flowers, with more falling as I type this. ---

I’ve always gotten a sprinkling of daffodils along my front walk. I haven’t seen any yet this year, but I’ve been a bit preoccupied when I’ve gone outside lately.
