Daffodiliac

Another flower video, I know, I know, I'm repeating material. But after all, it's springtime, FI-nally. A cause for celebration if ever there was, even if it is still chilly-chilly here. Spring takes longer coming to NY than it does in the Pacific Northwest (and elsewhere), so daffodils always appear in droves in the grocery store before they show up anywhere outdoors. I love them and although I sometimes go the rest of the year without buying flowers, I almost always buy bunch after bunch of daffodils for a few weeks right around now. Maybe it's just to tide me over until things start blooming, which they are just doing now. The little purple and yellow crocuses are open, daffodils are about 5 inches high, and I saw buds on our neighbor's lilac bush.      

Rosie is big into smelling things these days. (At the grocery store today she rode around in the cart sniffing a loaf of bread for longer and with more enthusiasm than seemed totally normal, which was a-ok since it kept her occupied in between crumpling up the grocery list and shaking the can of coffee beans like a giant maraca). These flowers aren't particularly fragrant but she still gave them a noble sniff. I'm looking forward to introducing her to lilacs - now, those are the big guns.
