Good morning
Mar. 28th, 2003 09:00 amThere's cold weather on its way, shepherded by some storms that are said to be quite threatening. Anticipating this, I harvested daffodils this morning.
I have about two dozen of them in a clear green vase at the end of my bench, looking O so pretty. I wish I had a camera so I could share them with you
I only harvested half of them, though. I hated to take all the color out of the yard in one go - that seemed so. . . brutal. But then I came in and Dave had this doom and gloom tale of storms and hail to tell, so maybe it will be a full daffodil harvest, after all. Better to have the color in the house than to see them squished in the yard, huh?
Meanwhile I have cannas, a lavender and a firecracker plant in my basement that are very anxious to be outside. The cannas have sprouted and are looking very pale (in the science world we call that etiolating), but I can't bring them up *quite* yet because of the frost threat this weekend. Poor things. Just a few more days in the basement, then on Sunday or Monday I'll bring them outside and tuck them in at night if the chill threatens :-)
I LOVE SPRING!!!
