Spring Dance of the Daffodils.

The bright yellow flowers are bob bob bobbing their heads in the spring dance of the blooming April Daffodils.

Perfect for picking, the long stems make a delightful bouquet to hand to a loved one, perch in a bottle in the house or to brighten a moment for a harried neighbor.

You will still have plenty of blooms on the plant to continue the dance of spring.

Weaving serenity from the cold.

The overwhelming urge to hibernate through the winter is lessening with the daily increase of sunlight.

I’ve been by the woodstove dyeing, spinning and pin weaving as well as knitting Alpaca hats through the last few months.

I can smell spring in the air and the perennials are poking their heads through the ground. This year I will garden…beginning with cleaning up the debris from last fall once the snow and  mud have cleared away and the warming winds of spring kiss my face.

Spring flowers bloom early in York County, Maine

The Bleeding Hearts are blooming! The bobbing yellow heads of Daffodils have been seen all across town. Magnolia trees are in full coronation of flowers. The Quince bush is aglow with blossoms and the harsh yellow of Forsythia slashes through the landscape. Yet, it was 29 degrees F this morning. Maine.

No Bees Knees…

…or any other part of a honey bee in my gardens.
