Daffodils

Still coming up after all these years.  G's brother gave us a gift of some daffodil bulbs, tulips and snowdrops when we moved here in 1991.  A few of the snow drops still appear but the daffodils have multiplied and been moved all around the property.  Thank you R!

2012 is a fantastic year for Forsythia here in Maine.  The neighborhoods are a blaze of yellow flowers. My walking buddy has a huge hedge of forsythia and her house is at the end of the street where our street meets the road into town.  It is so nice to see all that bright yellow as I turn it at the end of my day.  Later in the year, her maple tree just glows with bright orange and red leaf color.  Like it's been lit up by electricity. Over way too quickly for me.  Even the two skinny sprouts out front have yellow flowers this year.

I didn't take enough cold medicine to work with me.  I was mostly miserable and unable to breath thru my nose from about 2 on.  I just got out of the shower and plan to take my medicine now and just slump down on the couch and fall asleep.  G is already asleep on the couch.  No one has had dinner except for Riley, who is also asleep, on his dog bed, with Moo tucked under his chin.  We, three, are such exciting people.
