daffodils, at last!

I can't remember ever having to wait until March 10 to pick daffodils in Ashland, but this year... it happened. I actually came back from a trip to find daffodils blooming in the backyard on Sunday, but their heads were bowed over, stems terribly weakened by snow, sleet, and freezing rain. I picked a few of them today, with 3-inch stems, and dropped them into this tiny vase. Diminished as they are, they are still sights to sore eyes!
