It's Official ~


"She turned to the sunlight
and shook her yellow head,
and whispered to her neighbor:
'winter is dead'

Oh Susan...again, you are so talented with that camera...what breathtaking beauty this morning, and one of my favorite flowers, along with that quote which is perfect! Thank you. Love your header too.

I think here, as well!!! It has been receded by four days of rain and flooding. So here, spring has come in with a woosh!!

Finally! We had a spring snow down here in the South last weekend :) The daffodils have long since bloomed here but now I am enjoying azaleas :)

Wonderful (spring) light on the daffodil. Delightful verse.

How very exciting. The daffodils always bring joy to the spring garden.

Tracy said...

DAZZLING images, Susan! Blooms at last! We had no daffodils come up this year. But tulips are in leaf--so those soon. The spring has been so slow to show herself, each leaf is exciting! Happy Weekend ((HUGS))

I am glad spring is here also...but it is so late I am worried Mother Nature will let her leave all too soon and then we will have the hot, hot summer to contend with!

Trying again.. This new way of commenting NOT on my computer. You are the first one.

Like the daffodils!

Oh my goodness what a long wait you have had. Onwards and upwards. May your days be long and sunny from now on.

Yeah!!!!! I wish we could grow daffodils down here, but I did buy a small bunch for our dining table shortly after somebody's season began...somewhere!! We are getting much needed rain here in South Texas today and it looks and feels so very good.

I love the A.A. Milne quote. Winnie the Pooh and the others had, and still have, so much wisdom for me!

So wonderful to have had the shift in seasons, only to be attacked yesterday with sleet and snow. My poor tulips and daffodils went into shock. But...it's coming. It is coming indeed:).

Jennifer @ JenniferDukesLee.com said...

Yes! It's here... It's here! Spring is finally here. Farmers are in the fields at last.
