It truly felt like Spring today although it was overcast and attempting to rain. Although the garden is still too frozen to be workable, it was noisy with birdsong. Flickers, Blue Jays, Juncos, Starlings, American Robins and Chickadees all paid the garden a visit and they were a joy to see.
A visit to the supermarket provided me with my first daffodils, Narcissus. The garden daffodils are a few weeks away still but these, transported from Vancouver Island, smelled wonderful. Their ‘vase’ is an L.E. Smith vintage ‘Moon and Stars’ green glass bowl. Anchoring the daffodils was a bit of a challenge but a plastic bag filled with oasis and covered with trusty moss did the trick. I never know how to display daffodils to advantage so making them short took a bit of courage as I wanted to try something new.
