SUNDAY STROLL- JUST A LITTLE DAFFY-DIL

As winter winds down I notice all the evergreens are casting off their seed pods. They are looking toward the future just as we do, sending their young out into the world to take root and grow and prosper. The majestic Hemlocks have the sweetest little one inch cones that make me smile. The actual seeds must be so tiny, but in good time, nurturing soil and the right environment there will be soft welcoming evergreen trees filling the forests. I am impressed. The seeds of our trees must have laid dormant for years till all the pine trees here were stripped of their needles some twenty or more years ago during a ice and sleet storm. The pines died and the Hemlock seeds just rose up out of their deep sleep and now we have glorious lush trees. Nature has her ways and we can only marvel, for obviously there were Hemlocks here before the pines became dominant..

We have a Weatherstick on our front porch. At the moment it is showing a warm comfortable day. Should it point downward we would know from inside the house that a cold and dreary day was in progress. It is a fun indicator of weather. Hope you can see it attached to the post.
The bleeding heart has a touch of color in the cluster of flower buds. You will probably have to
double click on the picture to see it. They are a little tender and get frozen out quite often, but like good little troopers they bounce back with showy delight.

O.K. Here is my contribution to the Daffodil blog sightings. First the buds a couple of weeks ago.



Now a community of Daffies on a little rise in the yard. It is a natural yard room divider.



I would like to point out the double Daffodil's that I have propped on the solar light. The heads are so heavy that they generally end up laying on the ground so you can imagine which flowers grace our spring dinner table.

Here is the final cluster of spring delight. Bright and full of life.
