At last the daffodils have arrived in their full glory. They have been sitting in my garden for a few years and have never disappointed.

I have been waiting for at least a month for my daffodils to show themselves. They had the buds for a long while and I have been waiting for them to open. Today is the first day I have seen them open. It seems to be a daffodil day for both of use today.

It is almost daffodil time in my garden, but not quite. I think the cold has stopped their progress, but it will not be long.

The buds are gradually peeping through. There is one on the right and another in the middle. They will eventually arrive I hope. Today temperatures are almost normal for this time of the year, no more below zero. It will not be long and the daffodils will be flowering.

No nice yellow heads yet, they are waiting for the warmer weather and now tucked up in a layer of snow. At least they were yesterday, today the snow has gone, but still no yellow flowers. They are being careful.

One of the first Spring flowers I saw today in the store. It looks like it is on its way.

I am counting the days until the first buds appear, but now I must be patient. It has been a long cold snowy winter.

Not long now and they will soon have their flowers again.

A breath of Spring
