2-15-2014 Can't stop nature!

As we dig out of our latest snow, rain, this morning, uncovered a golden surprise: the first daffodil blooms.

They are a little shy under the morning rain but there is no mistaking their message:

spring is on the way!

It's not quite William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
