I am sitting before a roaring fire today. Why, you might ask, are you sitting in front of a roaring fire when the daffodils are already blooming?
Well, I believe that even the daffodils wish they were sitting in front of a roaring fire.
Yes indeed, that is what happens when you bloom too early. Lady Winter comes and dashes all your hopes, laughs in your face, and coats the trees in ice.
I think it's quite beautiful though, and since my seedlings are safe indoors, I don't mind the ice storm. I've gotten my last bit of winter, so when she's gone, I'll be happy to welcome spring.
Oh, I love a good ice storm!! Very beautiful, very powerful... my youngest sister told me over the phone the other day that she was going to pick all the daffodils in the yard before the ice storm hit, however. She was thrilled to have an excuse for doing so.
ReplyDeleteI should have done that too. Maybe they'll recover, they didn't actually get frozen I don't think. Only things higher up off the ground did.
