They always look nice poking their heads out of the snow don't they Linda.. I grew up in a small UK town called Buxton, high in the Derbyshire Pennines. We often had snow as late as May and the Daffs were sometimes in full bloom by then..
lol... this seems fitting...:-)
"Daffodils" (1804)
I WANDER'D 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.
Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the Milky Way, They stretch'd in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.
By William Wordsworth (1770-1850).
It's beginning to thaw now, but much more slowly than our normal skittering of snow does.
Hope you're having a good day too...[[[Hugs]]]
Love that huge snow hat on the car!..:-)
Hardly surprising Minerva... normal seems to have left the building, in so many ways..:-)
We seem to have missed the worst, although we have a few large snowflakes drifting down at present.
