I don’t know why I love that expression so much. But that’s what I’m doing to Maison de Bleu Lune today. It has been absolutely gorgeous for the past couple of days. Sunny skies, mild temperatures, gentle breezes. I have every single window and door open to let the fresh air in and, well, the stink out. Goodbye stuffy Winter air.
It’s very hard to concentrate on getting anything productive done when you just want to go outside and check the budding progress of the lilac bush (no action there yet) and the roses (little pink swellings). The daffodils are in full, riotous bloom and I cut a modest armful for the house.
Bless the daffodil and it’s easy going nature. You go through the trouble of planting them just once and they come back year after year, in increasing numbers. This time of year we don’t spend much time outside where we can enjoy them so I don’t feel the least bit guilty about cutting them and bringing them into the house.
I think it is safe to start bringing out the Easter decorations. Or am I being a slacker and the rest of you have had them out for weeks now?
Oh Andrea, now I can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait til my daffodils bloom! What a jar full of sunshine those are:>) Thank you for sharing them with all of us who are still buried under snow and expecting more this weekend!
You are so lucky you thought to plant the bulbs in the fall! I always forget, and never have any daffodils. I spent yesterday dragging out all my spring, St Patrick’s and Easter decorations. It is not too early.
Daffodils! There blooming in my neigborhood too! Such simple flowers but full of beauty!
