the daffodils are blooming. i have various types in my garden. some are shining bright lemon yellow, others have a more off-white color.  some look like a bell, others like small versions of peonies. 

Spring is here. 

from now on, if all my planting last year works out, i shall always have at least one flower blooming. But i will see. i can't wait for May to arrive to plant annuals, to accent the flower beds, to get my pots out and ready, to start my herb garden.  i must admit, i have been to nurseries a couple of times already, but have not bought anything yet. i planted so many perennials last year and i really need to wait and see which ones sprout. there is almost no room left and i don't want to crowd the beds either.

i wish i had a few hundred more daffodils, so i could cut them and have a fresh flower bouquet in the house too. however, i feel very blessed to have a garden at all. what a gift.
