The daffodils are blooming!

That's always what I look for to suggest that spring is finally coming, though this year I wasn't expecting any. Last summer, I dug up what passes for a flowerbed near my office -- okay, so it's only grown weeds for the past eight years -- with the good intentions of planting a really gorgeous floral display. Didn't get that far, but in the process of the digging, I did dig up all the daffodil bulbs and never replanted them. At least, I thought I got them all. But nope, three beautiful little daffodils have stuck up their heads and opened up (after our 78 degree high yesterday, how could they resist??). It always delights me to see them -- especially when the morning's a little gray and chilly, like today. They just seem so hopeful! Maybe I'll actually get that flowerbed planted this year so I can have flowers all summer long. (See what I mean about hopeful?)
