FOTD – January 29, 2020 – Daffodils
It’s winter and not even a really good winter. It’s a very warm winter. Not the warmest January ever, but the third warmest in 100 years, which is warm. We’ve had a bit of snow, a few days of cold, a fair bit of rain. It has been gray skies almost every day. Tomorrow they are promising us a day of sunshine. I guess we’ll see.
Meanwhile, daffodils sound great to me. Let’s pretend it’s spring again. Eventually, it really will be spring.

but they are from last year?! They ALWAYS make me cheerful.
And, btw, I have already for some 5 weeks some flowering daffs, not in dark yellow but a light, a bit sun-deprived yellow…

We’re running the gamut of possibilities. We had 2 ft. of snow, then it rained for 5 or 7 days but who’s counting, then it got sunny (cold but sunny) then it rained more. It’s now blustering at 90 k to 120 up north which happens, and today (in fact the last several weeks) the forecast has been dead on. I haven’t looked recently. I guess I should to see what’s coming. lol. Nah maybe I’ll let it surprise me!

Our forecasts are wrong more often than right these days. I’m always surprised when it works out the way they said it would.

Wonderful daffs. The sun is even out today, so pretending it’s spring is easy 😀

It’s OUR first sunny day in more than a week. I really don’t remember the last one. What a grey, dull winter this has been. Daffodils are just the right thing.

It would be nice to really GET spring. We almost never do. We have an extended chilly wet period known as “mud season,” followed by summer. And that is normal here. Something about how the winds blow.

I love when I start to see the colors coming up in the yard. I have gone through thousands of pictures and so many that I have taken are of the flowers.

We grow flowers for their beauty. I think it is one of the very few things that aren’t actual art objects that exist only to be beautiful, so sure, why not? I’m not a photojournalist taking pictures to prove something to the world. Flowers exist to make us happy, and I take pictures for beauty or at least, because they are interesting.

As do I! I love looking at the intricacies. I get excited when I take pictures that show bugs interacting with the plants, or rain drops on the petals…

These days I’m really happy when I see bees! There used to be a lot more. I haven’t seen a butterfly in ages.

Many years ago we had a carpenter bee problem. We had to kill them to keep our garage in one piece! Well it was shortly after that that my tomatoes in my garden didn’t grow well. I found out they are one of the primary pollinators for tomato plants!
