Impatient garden inhabitants looking for spring. Silly Daffodils, this is the only group I could find who had peeked up out of their comfy bed to check the landscape.

About Me
- Cloudhands
- This is a place to think out loud, to explore those things that interest me and to ramble on about whatever strikes my fancy at the moment. I'm in my seventh decade and just delighted to be here. I live in the country just outside a small mountain town in Tennessee. I quilt, I am a Tai Chi player, I sing in our church choir, I am a Hospice volunteer. I'm blogging to keep up with a couple of my children and their children.

Our daffodils are pushing up, not quite as big as yours, but definitely up! Hardy things, they take whatever comes, and still bloom merrily in March. I planted a lot of crucuses last year, but they seem to have succembed to the attentions of slugs and/or mice! Pity.
I keep telling myself Spring is on the way, but in mid-January its hard to believe!
Gilly,
I'm with you. An early spring would be such a nice treat after all the winter grey. On the other hand, early springs are often interrupted by a return to winter and ice and snow, nipping everything in the bud. We are in what we usually call a January thaw. I guess I'll just have to practice patience. Sorry about the slugs and mice. Crocus are so pretty.
Your neighbor is impatient also.
Spring - I am waiting for you with a smile on my face.
Wow! Your daffodils have a lot of winter yet to wait through! I hope they survive frost and freeze and snow. I don't think they have the ability to shrink back into the ground!
Ernestine,
What else can we do. We stand ready, but right now Spring is just a state of mind.
Aisling,
I will pull some leaves up over the eager whippersnapers and make them as cozy as I can. A little frostbite on the tips shouldn't hurt, I hope.
