Daffodils? Can Spring be Far Behind?


My husband called out to me... "Something wonderful has happened in our yard!" This was a few days before Valentine's Day 2024. Daffodils had bloomed! We have been watching snow storms on the news and our own morning temperatures have been in the 30's, but life goes on.

He cut a few and we delivered them to my mom so she could enjoy them for Valentine's Day. What inspires me is that these plants came with the house and have been slowly multiplying over the last sixteen years since we left New Hampshire and bought our lovely home in Raleigh, North Carolina. Until the weather is a little bit warmer, do what I do...


Spring is on the way. I have plans to replace a dripping faucet, paint some worn trim, replace knobs on my old kitchen cabinets, and fill more boxes to donate away to worthy groups. What will you do when you realize the days are getting longer?

As a woman who faced many medical issues

 in the previous year, take my advice

DO NOT WASTE A MINUTE!

Already Groundhog Day? Where did January go?

 


It does not matter if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not. Enjoy the coming of Spring. Days are getting longer! Here, in Raleigh North Carolina, I was surprised that the sun has been shining and the temperature was in the 60's this week.

His Prediction for 2024: "An early spring awaits us!" because he did not see his shadow.

Now, if you live in the chilly north or along the very wet California coast, just wait... the weather HAS to get better! And if your February and March prove dull, cold, and dreary and you are still stuck inside...READ BOOKS!
